Chinese Baby Products Pose a Danger

Last night I spent about an hour putting together a baby bed for Dorian. It was a pretty shoddy little bed and a very shoddy set of instructyion, but with a little love it will serve its purpose. But after finding some little nails in part of the bed I am anxious about what else might be wrong with the bed.

Right now we’re using it because we just got it and getting another one will take a while. But I we are going to have to do it, because when I am not around the house I worry about lead in the paint and splinters and whatever else this bed might have. Even writing this is getting me all worked up.

I wrote a series for Chengduliving.com about having a baby here in China and being able to source proper stuff was a big deal. We got all of the best we can get here, most of it bought from abroad, except for this bed, which we’re prob gonna scrap ASAP …..
