Hello Toxin Avengers-- I too am ticked off and tired of the corporate world poisoning our kids. I started a blog to share information about recalls, safer products, activism, and healthy living with kids. Non Toxic Kids shares information about what parents care most about: keeping their kids safe in a toxic world. It is filled with usable information for busy mamas: research summaries, news updates, product reviews and recommendations, tips for more natural living, creative ideas for raising healthy kids and links for more information. I hope you will post a link to the site, and I can link back to yours as well. We must unite to learn and then act to change. Thanks--

I know Christmas is coming up, and I found a great company that sells wood toys, fair trade items and more. They are www.novanatural.com I have loved everything I have bought from them. Continue the good work on informing mothers on the important issues of brestfeeding and toys.

This post really awake the attention of the parents to be responsible in buying toys for their kids. They must ensure that the toys has no bad content like lead. It will be bad for the health of the kids if they ingest it.
