While we'd hate to think that buzz-killing chemicals would ruin the fun of Lead-Filled Barbie or Thomas the Toxic Tank Engine, I guess it's better to know, right? Well, SF's Department of the Environment agrees with you. And to sate the curiosity of the public, they are offering free toy testing on Thursday, January 22, 11am to 1pm, at their offices on 11 Grove Street.
Best of all…they are offering up to $25 per toxic toy to put toward the purchase of a new “toy” (limit two toys tested). Uh huh. Anyone else want to join me scouring the kid's sedtion of Thrift Town? Look for the playthings with the lead paint. Remember not to chew them.
Read their awesome info on toxic toys. Or call 415 355 3755 for more info.
