Does anyone know how long China's been using lead based paints on children's toys? If it's been a long time ( and test can be run on old toys) there might be an under story to all this -- either China just started criminal cutting corners ( not likely) or some large group or hedge fund is shorting Chinese markets big time, or top execs just happened to notice problems with Chinese goods at the exact same time and called their local MSM to report it.

Then again, maybe the press just woke up after many sleepy years - and discovered this story on their own ( again - not likely ). Someone is feeding stories to the MSM. The MSM doesn't do much original reporting anymore. They're often "fed" information... My guess? Someone's after Walmart or someone's shorting China. Walmart should check their Chinese goods - make positive reports public -- for their customers safety and their own financial security.

One wonders if it tracks with the increase in autism.

Perhaps not lead, perhaps not mercury, but there are plenty of insidious poisons that would slip under the radar...
