The library? Still hasn't called and it's noon. As you can tell, this was high on the Assistant Directors agenda. If I don't hear anything by 5, I'm letting Dave call the newspaper in town. This isn't just my kids we're talking about, we're talking about a good 200 kids or so that attended this carnival they put on. They should ATLEAST have the knowledge that a toy with high lead levels needs to be posted in the paper, not just on their stupid door or where you check out the library books. I just can't go to the library because of how loud and crazy Dominic acts. Just not a good place for him so I would have never have known except for through Google. The kids play with these things daily. One problem though, the cat Damien loves, is missing. Below are 3 that I found, I can't find the cat with the brown stripes.

Yeah, like the plastic ziploc sacks?? I'm not taking any chances touching those things. lol The more researching I did last night I found that these toys were actually recalled a year ago and then somehow this Wisconsin company bought them. A hospital worker was at a library function and saw them being handed out and remembered a year ago they had a sick kid that was contaminated from the toys. That's how the recall started AGAIN. Why some company was buying toys recalled over a year ago, who knows.
The Health Department woman is going to post some fliers around there, I'm not sure if they'll put it in the paper. They called me back a bit ago and told me what they'll do when they come to the house. We're almost certain that they'll be coming since Damien just had the cat in his mouth a few days ago. They were quite shocked that they hadn't heard anything thing of it and were quite happy I brought it to their attention.
One thing I'd like to pass on is even if you have a newer house, get your kiddo tested. Obviously after finding out today about sidewalk chalk, Dollar Tree toys, and necklaces sold in stores that contained high lead, I think alot of parents just don't have an idea that toys can be harmful in other ways than just a choking or strangulation hazard. This whole ordeal has not been fun and Damien will probably have this lead in his system for 2 months according to the health department.

I still can't believe that! And to think the library knew and simply posted a small note! That is just ridiculous! You should go on the news - your 15 minutes of fame LOL
PS Damien is so cute! I love that picture!
