Toxic Toys From China    Back to the homepage
Views: 814 Report
Many people have been calling for a boycott of toxic toys from China. What gets me riled up, though, is not the calls for boycott, but the hypocrisy of calling for a boycott of toxic toys from China. Only recently have we paid any attention to the incredible number and amount of toxins in all the computers and other eWaste that makes the toxic toys from China pale in comparison. A personal computer is said to contain hundreds of toxins like lead, mercury, cadmium and other heavy metals that are known to cause damage to the nervous system, the brain, the kidneys, and can cause birth defects and cancer. America still ships some of this eWaste back to China and other countries for disposal. You can see workers every day in China working with their unprotected hands smashing up and dismantling eWaste, including toxic toys from China, for precious metals, poisoning the people, land, air, and water. Maybe it's illegal, but smugglers find it very profitable to import and dismantle toxic toys from China and elsewhere, particularly in a land when raw materials are in great demand.
