Government regulators still downplayed lead hazard even after big toy recalls

Evidence

It is surprising that the Consumer Product Safety Commission has not listed lead among the top toy hazards. In 2007, Julie Vallese, then the spokesperson for the commission, minimized the omission by exonerative comparison: “It’s not your child’s dollhouse, when it comes to lead that’s going to actually cause injury, it’s your own house. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1776
