Wait....I want to call this ironic - but it's not even. THEY AR FUCKING LEAD PENCILS.

[well maybe graphite, but STILL! This is just ridiculous.]
Pencils made in China recalled due to lead levels

OTTAWA -- Another children's product made in China has been added to the growing list of recalls over concerns about lead, making it the fourth such recall in less than one month.
Health Canada has recalled Favor Set children's pencils because the coating contains high amounts of lead, just two days after another children's product was recalled due to similar concerns.

There is no risk of lead exposure from holding a pencil with a coating that contains lead, only from sucking or chewing on a pencil. [So teach your bastard kids to keep the pencils out of their mouths.]

Health Canada has not received any reports of incidents or injuries from use of these pencils. [So then why are you bitching. Didn't you know that everything you consume, use, co-exist with, touch, etc.

Several other children's toys made in China have been recalled recently because of high amounts of lead -- including 27,000 crayon and paint sets recalled by Toys "R"Us Inc. just two days ago.
Imaginarium Wooden Coloring Cases were recalled because the packaging of the wooden box contains lead, as does some of the watercolour paint.
On Aug. 17, Toys "R'' Us said it was removing all vinyl baby bibs from its Toys "R'' Us and Babies "R'' Us stores as a precaution, after two bibs made in China for one supplier showed lead levels that exceeded the company's standards.
Just three days earlier, on Aug. 14, toy giant Mattel recalled 32,800 "Sarge'' character die-cast vehicles from the "CARS'' line in Canada, sold from May to August 2007, because of excessive amounts of lead in the paint.

Bladey Bladey Blah and so on and so forth your kids are all gonna die anyways you're the ones that started this china shit by being too poor to buy American made goods. Even when they were OPENLY using CHILD LABOR, you still bought their toys. YOU HAD IT COMING.
