<span class="source">Typical Chinese toys at a store in Beijing. Repeat after me: Chinese toys are SAFE. Chinese toys don&#8217;t fall apart. Chinese toys are GOOD for the environment.

<p><strong>Nothing beats the safety of a $1,35 Chinese toy bought at the Dollar Store</strong> and that&#8217;s why &#8220;Chinese-made toys are overwhelmingly safe,&#8221; the official Chinese news agency claimed on Friday. (A week after Mattel pulled goods because of fears about lead in paint on Chinese toys.)</p>
<p>&#8220;Although there are a few problems with some made-in-China toys, generally the safety quality is worthy of being trusted,&#8221; the official Xinhua news agency told <a target="_blank" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSPEK17381320070810" title="China defends toy safety, says problems is limited">Reuters</a> citing unknown officials.</p>
<p>So, you see little John, you don&#8217;t have to be afraid anymore! Suck on your $1,35 Chinese toy made with plastic from <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster" title="Chernobyl nuclear explosion"><strong>Chernobyl</strong></a>. Xinhua said it&#8217;s safe and if Xinhua says it&#8217;s safe, then it must be.  :)</p>
