Disney Bibs Have High Lead Content

It appears that there are still bibs being sold on store shelfs that have high lead content. This includes Disney's Winnie The Pooh bibs on sale at Toys 'R Us.

Tests conducted on the bibs for the public interest group Center for Environmental Health (CEH) as well as tests conducted separately by the New York Times showed lead as high as three times the level allowed in paint in the bibs.

The CEH said Wednesday that it purchased the Vinyl bibs from Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores, including a bib with Disney's (Charts, Fortune 500) "Winnie the Pooh" characters and store brand bibs marketed as "Koala Baby" and "Especially for Baby" bibs.

I expect more of these in the next few months as the industry, watchdog organizations, the govt., and the public sort itself out on what we are willing to pay for when we buy things.
