Information on recalled dangerous, or lead contaminated toys
A site providing information on recalled toys.
Since becoming a father, I took a real interest in what toys he plays with after a crib he was using was recalled after a child died. I created Ban Lead Toys because I wanted a way to keep up to date with toy safety, and let other parents know too. I have tried to make it user friendly, and I am constantly tweaking it's design.

Thank you for visiting.
My Opinion
I feel very strongly about child safety, and what could be totally avoidable with proper testing, and less cost cutting measures.In 2008 and beyond, I'm saddened by so many recalls, and lives lost. China still is going for the cheapest options. Lead paint in toys is avoidable, as is a lot faults the recalled products have.
I know many people would pay more for American built safe toys. I hope that one day, all toys are made in the USA and this site is no longer required.

The baby sleep solution
Dear Parent,
y name is Chris Towland and in the next few minutes you will see how it is perfectly possible for you and your baby to get a good night's sleep, starting tonight.
You are not alone with your baby's sleep problems. Many parents feel desperate to solve their baby's sleep issues but often feel helpless and isolated without any idea of what to do about it.
It's important to understand that you are not alone with this difficulty and there is a solution!
I know what it's like... I have a friend whose youngest son hardly slept at all until he was over two years old. It even reached the stage where he and his wife were taking it in turns to sleep in a local hotel so that one of them could be assured of a good night's sleep for three days out of every six!
A parent wrote to me to explain that her son was waking every hour through the night. The baby would just wake up and then cry until nursed back to sleep. An hour later he would wake and cry again. She had tried everything she could think of to solve the problem but was feeling exhausted, depressed and desperate.
Yet another said that his daughter would just not go to sleep but would cry and cry for anything up to three hours at a time.
But it doesn't have to be like this! There is an easy way to solve your baby sleep problems....
