Toxic toys are on the minds of parents and grandparents this holiday shopping season. Lead, the environmental scourge that has scandalously been painted on and then sent to babies, toddlers and children by some of the biggest, formerly most-trusted names in childhood play, can cause serious neurological damage to our young. Definitely not something for under the tree. The Daily Green has reached out to Made-in-USA toy manufacturers all over America to find out what's available this holiday season for kids whose parents are willing to take that extra step to keep their kids (and homes) safe from this deadly environmental toxin.

But how can you be sure it American made, when all they really have to do is assemble a small portion of the product here to claim its American made? Really, not even here, they can do it in any of the many US territories, like the Mariana Islands, and they can claim American Made. Hell, it dont even have to be made there, there are many things imported from China to there, boxed and labeled, ship duty and tax fee as American made. Delay was just one of many republicans who fought hard to keep US trade laws, and even us labor laws from being applied to the Mariana islands. No one cares about the consumer beyond the profit.
