I just read the new Lilformers comic

And ...

Well ... i dont know if this is somekind of joke, but is there lead paint on any Transformers figure or something like that ?! ...

If there is a thing in this world i hate, then its cemicals, so please respond so i can get control of myself again...

Not as far as we know. Mattel had a large recall of toys due to that problem, but no word from Hasbro. So far it's an isolated incident.

hmmm ...

Well, i dont usually LICK my Transformers, but i can tell you that i really hates chemicals ... really ...

so ... what is the exact thing there happens when a toy is painted with lead-paint?

I have only heard that it is dangerous to lick at.

I for one HOPE that there is a recall of transformers products because then they will be EVEN RARER!!!!!!!~~~!

It kills you!
Most people in the Wild West died of Lead posening, not of the actuaql shot itself.
Lead gets into your blood and then kills you, ina high consintration, but how I don't know.

That means that i got a new dilema for me to tumble around with ! ...
Oh my ... i hope that Hasbro soon will give us some answers ...

Does it give any effects to touch a lead-painted figure ?!

Killing brain cells is one of the effects.

I must have had a lot of lead paint on my toys when I was young

Wasn't that alcohol?

Then you should give them away immediatly. All Transformers consist entirely of chemicals (so do you and I, btw).

Wasn't there a news some time ago where Hasbro stated that Transformers don't use lead paint and that they are steeping up the controls for such kind of things?

And Cola kills everything, especially bones. Drink Milk!!!

Lead Poisoning

Beethoven died from it. It was a leading cause of his irritablity.

I love Milk, 5 glases a day for me, but that with cola, very distorbing!

Almost all paint used in toy manufacturing has lead in it. It's the amount of lead that was the problem.

I thought Beethoven died of the syphilis.

Anyhow, even in a large collection, there's not enough lead in the paint to cover a wall or two in a big room. Not enough to be a big deal if you don't eat your transformers. Or let anybody else eat them.

Okay i have been off for some hours now, to eat dinner and walk the doggy etc.

Okay ... as someone said, and sorry i dont remember the name, that Hasbro said that Transformers dosnt use lead-paint we'll have to trust em ... and again i dont eat my figures ...

The problem is there's no such thing as a safe level of lead. It's a cumulative poison that doesn't ever get flushed out of your system. Thomas Midgley Jr may well be the most dangerous man who ever lived.

It's advisable to stay awake during school and sleep at home, though nobody might have said something about [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley]Thomas Midgley[/url in school.

He's the guy who came up with the idea of adding lead to petrol, and publicly claimed it was perfectly safe. For an encore, he invented CFCs. In a couple of hundred years, when the planet is an arid wasteland and the survivors live in cities on giant hydraulic legs, they may well look back and wonder why we made such a fuss about Hitler or Stalin when Midgley had so much more a damaging impact on the world.

Lets go back in time and kill him!

So i can imagine that real paint have a little extract of lead in it, many things might have it, but again we cant worry about everything, especially not if they say that the lead is in non-dangerous bits ... then we gotta trust em.

I keep repeating myself, sorry im tired and ... fustrated ...
