Hey guys!

I just found a great site that rates the safety of certain toys based on lead content, arsenic, etc, etc.

It turns out that al the TF's they tested contained very little or NO dangerous chemicals. In fact, two of the TF's tested scored at the the top of their "Best toys"!

Healthytoys.org Best Toys So, feel free to get your children addicted to TF's too without worrying about excess toxicity!

To view all the Transformers tested, go Here.

To see all the toys they rated, go here:

Disclosure: I have no idea how reputable these guys are or how accurate the testing was. I just thought it was interesting and wanted to share it with you all.

Seibertron.com member Galvatron Supreme has just given us information regarding studies done on Transformers brand figures for safety tests such as lead and chemical properties.

According to the research done by HealthyToys.org all of the Transformers toys tested ranked at a low to no contamination levels of harmful substances. Two of the toys tested ranked among the Best Toys catagory. This is great news for consumers that are looking to make the best purchases possible as the holiday season approaches.

With the way energy prices are going, coal will be a good thing to get.

On the other hand, if you want to kill someone, give him a Disney toy.

Bromine in the black plastic appears to be the most prevalent concern, and I can't see how it would be a health concern...
