"Walmart is currently selling holiday gifts for children that have dangerous levels of lead, chlorine arsenic, cadmium and bromine-all toxic substances.
As the world's largest retailer, Walmart has tremendous influence over manufacturers and could be a powerful force in making sure our children's toys meet strict safety standards.
But Walmart isn't standing up for its customer's safety. Instead it's pressuring its suppliers to deliver goods as cheaply as possible - forcing them to cut corners on product safety to meet Walmart's price demands and still make a profit.
There's no price at which we should be willing to accept products that jeopardize our children's health.
Send a letter to Walmart CEO Mike Duke and ask him to pull dangerous products off Walmart shelves this holiday season and stop sacrificing safety for profits."

It's all about the profits. As long as people keep shopping cheap stores like Walmart, they will continue to get cheap products made in China, which has a very bad track record of producing products with dangerous chemicals in them. Of course I think Walmart, and every other store that gets its products from China, should pull dangerous products or put warning labels on them. But it's all about the money and until people are educated well enough to stop spending money on these cheap products, I don't have much faith in complaining to corporations.
