CSPC recalls 9 items - Did you see the list?

OMG - 7 Due to lead paint. I am really concerned that more lead paint in products will be found. This is crazy, really the Big Companies have over outsourced themselves and now we the comsumers are paying for this.

I am concerned, about dinnerware, cookware and clothing, since quite a bit of that is also made in China. Has anyone heard if they have tested clothing and dinnerware and cookware? Heck I even see small kitchen Appliances made in China , how do we know those things do not have lead in them?
