My goodness, this is so scary.
It’s actually scary to buy items now, especially when they’re cheap and imported in massive quantities, cause you’re not really sure if they’re safe in terms of manufacturing/paint/quality.
Just imagine if you bought this for your kids and your kids would inhale all the lead that they shouldn’t inhale.
I pray for better quality control.
