anyroad, i hate to be a killjoy, but i had toys with lead paint in them, i handled and worked with lead metal miniatures (games workshop) and i've had nothing serioulsy detrimental happen to me. i stuck toys in my mouth when i was a kid, held onto them with my teeth whilst getting something else, and i;ve not had anything happen to me.
My mom used to be a QC and she said it was unreal the amount of mistakes and shotty things that she viewed and sometimes the boss would say ship it anyway.
personally it not the fault of the parents, its more down to the media and the manufacturers. the media for all the bloody scaremongering that they do when something "catastrophic" or "harmful" happens, and the manufacturers for not holding tighter QC on their overseas factories

If it is, it means BBTS think that they might get sued by parents if the toys are tested later.
Funny usually laws like this are made to give the public a sense of feeling that their government is doing something to help and protect them, but its all for show and they never follow through with it and enforce it.
The only thing to come from unenforceable laws like this are law suits...
