FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lead and Toy Safety Section Launches at TDmonthly.com
Learn Facts About Lead, Lead Poisoning and the Recent Recall Scares

Los Angeles, Calif. (February 2008) – The 2007 recalls caused by excessive levels of lead paint in children’s toys weren’t just a blip on the safety radar — they were enough to ignite public controversy and call for widespread reform in companies and countries alike. That’s why TDmonthly Magazine, as part of its commitment to extensive coverage of the specialty toy industry, has launched a section devoted to lead and toy safety at www.tdmonthly.com.

What safety bills have lobbyists been pushing to Congress? What resources does the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission need to do its job? What are concerned parents buying now? Who’s testing toys? And do “safe” levels of lead even exist?

Designed to answer questions that consumers and industry professionals may have, the special section addresses these and other topics. It represents editorial coverage over a half-year period, featuring articles on the following:

• The history and dangers of lead
• Lead testing
• Recall reports
• Summaries of news from various media
• Legislation that could change safety standards
• Response to recalls last summer and fall
• Companies that manufacture toys in the United States

TDmonthly has conveniently placed relevant coverage on these hot-button issues all in one place, so that readers can easily find what they need to know. The special segment can be accessed here: http://toydirectory.com/monthly/toy-lead-safety.asp
