Question by Linnie: Who is getting their kids vintage toys?
From the recent poison paint and all.
I think it is good to buy the children vintage toys from GOODWILL and The Salvation Army
and thrift shops. As they are safe unlike the recalled ones this year and last.
Do you think so if the toys are in good shape and very clean?

This could be a good idea, just make sure to check out the Consumer Product Safety Commission website at http://www.cpsc.gov to make sure these toys haven’t also been recalled. Also, remember that many toys are still manufactured right here is the USA. According to a Fox News article printed on Aug. 16th, the following toys are still made in the USA:
• Battleship
• Bicycle Playing Cards
• Boggle Jr.
• Candyland
• Chutes and Ladders
• Clue
• Connect Four
• Crayola Crayons *
• Life
• Louisville Slugger
• Monopoly
• Mouse Trap
• Operation
• Parcheesi
• Play-Doh *
• Pop-O-Matic Trouble
• Radio Flyer Discovery Wagon
• Scrabble
• Sorry
• Stratego
• Tri-ominos
• Trivial Pursuit
• Yahtzee
• Melissa and Doug U.S.A. Floor Puzzle (Most puzzles are made in the USA!)
* Note: Not all packages of Crayola Crayons and Play-Doh are made in the USA — please check the label.
Also, anything you buy from the American Plastic Toy Company is made in America (Target sells their products).
You can also find American-made toys on these Web sites:

I would also like to add that Little Tikes and Step 2 products are manufactured in Ohio.
I think its fine as long as they are clean. Most thrift stores will wipe them down but make sure you disinfect them when you get home, just to be safe. I have found some of the coolest toys at thrift stores.
yes…but i would certainly do a wipe down on them when u bring the toys home for your child to play with. a safe cleaning spray is clorox anywhere spray
