Toxicity In Chinese Products?
 
We would like to buy headlamps for our grandchildren, and the ones we
have seen have been made in China.

With all the news about dangerous ingredients in Chinese products we
have some reservations about the elastic head straps.

I have read about lead in some products.

I have read about phthalates in pliable plastics.

Would plastic straps be something to worry about?

Thanks for your help.

do your grandkids typically eat the plastic straps on their possessions?

Did you get nailed by the excellent LL Bean commercial on TV, with all the
little kids wearing headlamps? :)
