I was told at Ben's preschool the other day that his Diego back pack had been recalled for lead paint. Good grief. What next?!?!
I looked online and don't see where a back pack is listed on any recalls, has anyone heard of this? |

I found this story:

that is not the diego back pack we have, but we DO HAVE a companion lunch box that goes with that spiderman backpack.
What ever. I'm throwing out the back pack we have and getting Ben a Grown up back pack, that he will hate because it doesn't have some cartoon on it, but it won't poison him. Seriously, what is this world coming to? |

That's interesting and disturbing. I remember not wanting to buy any character-based backpacks at Target because they were all made in China.

I bought Ben a new plain blue back pack last night. It isn't fun, but at least it won't kill him.
