By now you know about the latest in a wave of toy recalls, one of which surely has affected you and your kids. There's a growing concern combined with a certain helplessness over the situation. What can we as consumers do?
Aside from making all of our own toys what can we do? One thing would be to sign this petition by MomsRising.org. MomsRising is an activist organization interested in establishing and protecting the rights of U.S. families. They've been involved in wage discrimination and breastfeeding issues, which may or may not push your buttons, but toys? I think that's something we can all relate to.
So sign this petition and pass the link along to friends and family, and hopefully you'll then be a little piece of some eventual great changes that will help protect our kids.
