Silly nintendo, poisoning kids makes the money machine print slow

Its all in the link.  I guess some pins that Ninty gave out at some event were made in guess where... ?  Yep, thats right, CHINA and they contain, surprise....too much lead and are dangerous to wear.  Seriously, a little more quality control than China.  Honestly, sure they can make stuff cheap but if they have no one to buy their stuff due to lead poisoning they are not going to become the new world super power.


On a more serious note, I really hope no actual kids have been affected in that they have been fondiling pins and wearing them out since they got them and lead accumulating in their bodies as kids can be super harmful to growth.

It would be quite sad if kids were actually affected by this, hopefully they weren't.

China needs a strict law about lead amounts (if there isn't already one) and it needs to be enforced. This is becoming quite ridiculous.
