    Only thing I worry about with toys is if the plastic they use is non-toxic. Most cheap toys sold online aren’t tested for plastic toxicity.

      True enough, but toxic toys aren’t super common in the US. It certainly happens, but they eventually get detected and recalled. That being said, with Trump’s plans for gutting regulatory bodies even further, I’ll be much less inclined to order cheap toys from online.

          Not the best example, the health risks from radium dials were mostly to the people that painted them, because they licked their brushes to point them.

            mostly is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Would you like to buy my glow in the dark watch, then?
