For example, as a parent of a young child it make me angry that Chinese manufactures have been putting lead in the paint they use on toys. This has been done apparently for several years without any government authority in any country knowing about it. My suggestion has been that Australia establish a testing program of toy before they released onto the market. Not one person has replied to my emails. They don't seem to care about the health risks to our children from such products. I bought a $35 lead testing kit and will be checking several toys before allowing further use. My idea for a national testing program has fallen on deaf ears. I'm surprised that parenting groups in the USA haven't been demanding their government do something. In June I sent feedback to the Australian government website that lists recalls suggesting they start an email notification registry for recalls. They replied that they were considering it and may do so 'when resourses permit'. What can we do?
