My husband and I went Christmas shopping at ToysRUs yesterday with no certain agenda other that to purchase my two nephews toys for their presents from our family. As we began to shop, my husband mentioned we might want to avoid items ‘MADE IN CHINA’ in leu of the recent news inundation of ‘led paint’ found in so many of their products. So, we set out to find toys made mainly elsewhere, but hoped for US MADE finds. To our dismay, the rumors we found were true! We found absolutely NO toys MADE IN THE USA! We did, however, find ONE toy MADE IN MEXICO. We bought it! Little Tyke, out of the many toys they had, only ONE was NOT MADE IN CHINA, but in Mexico.
I have to say, we did not do an exhaustive search through out the store, although we combed the isles until we were tired. This discovery peaked our curiosity. We found ourselves at Walmart searching toys MADE anywhere but CHINA and again, we found the same results.
If anyone has an idea on where to find toys that are NOT MADE IN CHINA, please let us know!!!! Preferably, toys MADE IN USA would be an encouraging find!
