Yes, one more bit of bad news when it comes to your babies today. Now it turns out there is lead in certain baby bibs.
Lead bibs would, of course, makes sense with all the gamma rays and what not contained in strained peas and apple sauce. This bib thing really may be the straw that breaks the camels back. Not every kid puts toys in their mouths, not every kid stuffs things up their noses, but unlike the lead paint issue, and the inhaling of magnets: Every baby spits food out…therefore the bib.
Feeding a baby is all about attrition. Who will last the longest, the spooner or the spoonee. Younger babies may be amateurs when it comes to eating solid foods, but they are professionals when it comes to pushing that food right back out
Every mother has take the spoon and in a scrapping motion reclaimed food from babies face. Every mom too must admit to reclaiming food that has been rejected from a clean bib. My kids had dozens of bibs, some were even plastic so they could be wiped down instead of tossed in the laundry after every use. This is the long way of saying, if lead is being used in baby bibs, the babies that were being fed in those bibs most certainly have lead in them. Conversely all children that played with the most recently recalled toys will not have magnets in them.
Importing goods from China has become the same as feeding a baby. China is the spooner that keeps sending us products for which we do not have a taste. We spew those distasteful tainted products back.
The interesting portion of this serving is going to be seeing who gives up first. Will we at some point say enough is enough, we won’t accept dangerous, unwholesome products from anywhere any more? Or, will we be worn down, until ultimately years from now our sallow ed faces and blank stares sing the refrain of:
it was gluten from China wot dun ‘em in.
Gluten, toothpaste, tainted fish, lead based paint, jewelry, baby bibs, pet food….you fill in your own blanks.
We need to contact our domestic manufactures and let them know they appear to be engaging in practices that are UNACCEPTABLE. We will not continue to return or spew back their products, but that those products will remain on the shelves….unless and until they change their practices!
We work hard for our money, we love our families, and our pets…we’ve come to expect better, we deserve better…..let’s not lose the game of attrition.

Let China Off the Hook? Accepting Tainted Chinese Products is Our Own Fault.
Friday, June 1, 2007
Someone needs to explain how diethylene glycol from Iran ended up in China, which ended up in toothpaste, which ended up in the US, which caused the FDA to check all the toothpaste shipments from China, which has caused Canadian officials to consider taking similar actions!
The escalating number of frightening and sometimes deadly incidents involving tainted products making their way from China into the world market is a riddle.
What is the reason? Is it for fun or profit?
Holmes loved a mystery; The Riddler taunted Batman. Countries importing tainted products from China may be wondering if the Joker sent them.
Mr. Cool and Excel toothpastes have been found to contain the poisonous chemical diethylene glycol used in antifreeze. The same chemical was found in cough syrup that killed 51 last year in Panama. The source of the cough syrup: Imported products from China.
Here is another riddle from China! When is a monkfish not really a monkfish?
The FDA warned consumers not to buy or eat imported fish labeled as monkfish. Why? Because it isn’t monkfish at all, it is puffer fish. Riddle solved!
US Government tests done after 2 Chicago-area people became ill after eat the puffer fish, which had been labeled monkfish. It turns out 282 boxes of the puffer fish were distributed in Illinois, California and Hawaii.
This is very serious business. Deadly serious for those using, consuming or feeding pets tainted products from China, or anywhere else for that matter.
China has a serious consumer confidence problem on their hands. Does anyone think sentencing Zheng Xiaoyu to death is going to shore up confidence in Chinese imports? Zheng, 63 is the former Director of China’s State Food and Drug Administration.
