With approximately 9.2 million children and babies under five dying unnecessarily around the globe each year (that's 25,000 children per day), this initiative is clearly an investment in our global future and should be taken seriously by governments and NGOs the world over.On UNICEF's website, they state the case clearly:"At UNICEF, we believe in children.

In case not, here's a quick summary:Mattel Toys has just recalled 18.6 million toys worldwide (1/2 in the U.S.) because they were coated with lead paint or were held together with magnets that could detach and be swallowed by a toddler.On August 8, Schylling Associated recalled 51,000 Thomas & Friends, CuriousGeorge, and circus tops for the same reason.On June 13, RC2 Corp. recalled 1.2 million Thomas and Friends wooden railway toys for the same reason.All of these toys were made in China.*************************************Lead is Bad NewsAnd you also certainly know that ingesting lead is very bad for kids.
