This is so depressing. It is really disapointing the way this lead paint thing is going. In addition to this, I've lately read a story about Minnesota banning the use of Mercury in mascara beauty products. Does anyone remember being told not to break the glass temperature thermometers when we were in school because the mercury was toxic? How much more is yet to be disclosed that we do not know about? No wonder we have an epidemic.
