"That's a record number of recalls," said Don Mays of Consumer Union. Consumer groups say they found on store shelves toys that contained illegal levels of lead. The government warns that further recalls are under way, which is a sign that dangerous toys are still on shelves. For Arlene and Robert Gilmore, lead paint, dangerous magnets and toxic chemicals have changed the way they shop for their grandchildren's presents this year. Robert Gilmore said, "To me, it's almost overwhelming to the point where you just almost disregard all this information." "We don't really have a lot of choice," Arlene Gilmore said. "Especially with dolls." Parents no longer ask themselves if a toy is simply fun. They want to be assured that the toy is safe. Kinder Haus Toys owner Sue Pyatt said, "We do get questions such as, 'What have you here in your store that is not made in China?'" And so Pyatt has labeled the toys in her store that are made in places other than China. Despite efforts by individual store owners and the continuing stream of recalls, the toy industry says shoppers are not avoiding the 80 percent of toys made in China.
