Brandi said...So these bottles have been sold since 2006. That really ticks me off that our children, no we don't own one of these bottles, could have been drinking out of this for 2 years and they are just not recalling them. I'm sorry but I really think that there needs to be stricter monitoring on imports. Everytime I turn around there are recalls issued for imports from China (and this has been going on much longer than that big stink last year) due to lead. I don't let my children get anything out of those gum ball machines anymore because they are a huge culprit.
