Holy Hannah Montana, this is what I get for working late on Thing Two’s girl scout troop newsletter; another freakin’ recall on kids’ jewelry:
“Girls Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) has issued a recall of a charm and instructed their retail customers to remove the item from their shelves, after a routine test identified the lead content in one paint color exceeded safety standards.”
However, the metal content was deemed safe and you can read the rest of the press release, here.
I’m torn, here. On the one hand, kudos to GSA for keeping up with their random testing policy. Still. When it hits this close to home — I have an 11-year-old junior girl scout and 6-year-old brownie, for goodness sake — well, what’s a registered troop mother to do?
I want some butts, people!
