    What?! The company that make them say they are safe, so it MUST BE TRUE!!!

    I for one am a bit alarmed at this story.

    An independent consumer company has done some tests that prove the hamster is toxic - and y'all think that's Ok because the company says so?

    :eek:

    I'm a tad worried TBH. Was it just Mr Squiggles they tested? Presumably someone in the UK does tests on everything before it's given the Ok to sell it?

    At the risk of repeating myself USA have VERY strict guidelines over toys - there is no way it would have made the shelves if it was unsafe.

    I do beg to differ with you there, dont forget the Sarge Cars toy with the toxic paint from mattel. These made it to the shelfs of the USA and world wide. :rolleyes:
  • Things is, our kids come into contact with things that could kill them every day and we don't worry.

    I believe they tested it all but Mr Squiggle's fur came up with the warning. And yeah usually things are tested before coming into the UK

    But that was over 2 years ago - they have really tightened things up since then because of such scares
