What toys are safe to buy considering the recent recall?

Although the massive toy recall currently in progress from the likes of Fisher Price and Mattel may be swaying some parents from buying toys at the moment, these problems still won't end up deterring many of them from buying similar toys (according to parental feedback this week).

Why, you may ask? Well, the parents in question say that American companies that branded and marketed the toys were as much to blame as the Chinese factories which created them. I agree with this -- if lead paint was put on toys in Chinese factories and the actual companies had no outside quality control to check for things like this, they are just as much to blame.

Will you stop buying toys for your kids? Probably not -- but is it time to actually research toys and buy ones from known good sources (non-Chinese), even if it means fewer toys (non-mainstream, most likely) but with higher quality?
