Of course, I purchased the Thomas trains because I've seen them for years! I had bought a set of used wooden Thomas trains and tracks trying to save some money, this was prior to the recall of the 2005 painted wood trains, when I heard about the recall I rushed panic stricken checking dates on every train and painted item in the wood set. Thank God they are 2001-2002. My son loves the trains. As you said how do you tell your little one they cant have them because they may hurt him or you dont trust the company. First the pocket with the high priced trains and then our children's health??? And the big question is, Is it a one time thing or could it happen again and if it does happen again will my child be one who's having effects from it?? These are adorable trains and he looks as cute as he can be falling a sleep holding his little train but now I wonder is it worth it and can I trust this company going forward??? Why didn't anyone know until now this paint had lead in it and how did they find out? Did a child die or get sick and this is how they found out? This has made me realize its not just the world around us we have to try to protect our children from (traffic, pedifiles, etc) but for me, I have to think more about what toys I buy and use my own common sense. Then again how will I know if there is lead in the paint??? Confused and concerned first time Mom!coolaidekid66-flynnagainandagainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05910982694701624494noreply@blogger.com
