Hey guys seen on the news tonight that some toys are being rejected by toys for tots and other donation programs because of the recalls.

If you do these programs you may want to visit the salvation army web page and see the recall list or just google a toy recall list. If you buy the toy and donate it, they are pulling them and putting them in storage for now.

So better off to make sure it is not on the list so that your toys get where you intend them to go and not in some trailer waiting to be returned to the company for refund. So check them out before you buy for these programs or for your own family members.

I believe alot of it is the lead based paint and small part recalls.

When you are dealing with recalls and programs it can be a real pain, even though you did not purchase it, you have to go through all the crap of returning the item. Did you have a lot on the list goodnatured?

Consumer beware, these lists are produced all the time, it is good to follow them if you are buying gifts for children or loved ones.

I was donating my kids outgrown toys through a place in our town.This Xmas they decline all toys and threw the old one away.Now I have no place to take my outgrown toys.They are to good to throw in a land fill .I hate having yard sales don't never do to good on small things like toys. Anyone in a fix like me try freecycle.com see if they have a local site where you live They are great. You can join and offer any thing you don't need for free to avoid the landfills. They give away some nice things even you Can put something on there you are looking for that you cannot afford to purchase yourself.

Your ID gives the fresh feel. Why do you want to change it anyway?
