Ugh ... I hate to think how much over the past few days my kids have put Halloween fake teeth in their mouths. Here's the start to the article, "Hours before trick-or-treaters began going door to door, the government warned consumers Wednesday that fake Halloween teeth sold by the tens of thousands since last year contain excessive amounts of lead. The $2 packages of "Ugly Teeth" are the latest in a long line of Chinese-made toys and novelty items recalled because of lead. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall in a news release. In an interview, the commission's acting head defended the last-minute action in notifying consumers about the teeth. Nancy Nord said the possible danger was not brought to the agency's attention until late last week. The agency estimates that since January 2006, retailers have sold 43,000 eight-piece packages of the party favors. There were no reports of injuries or illness.1 likes it | report | Tell a friend
