The only way to stop these people from selling them is to outright ban the sale. Just saying, "that toy is dangerous, shouldnt buy it for your kid", doesnt get it. How many parents read the newspapers, or listen to the news? Free markets can be dangerous markets unless they are stopped.<br /><br />Polly pockets have frickin lead in them.
