How many deaths have been a direct result of lead in toys? - led toys
I always hear the media make a fuss about lead in toys and is committed to lower levels. I know that's my generation have been somewhat exposed to lead before you even know it was dangerous. I wonder if it just a hot medium, or if someone can prove with facts and sources, please specify how many deaths each year from lead poisoning are caused in toys, and how it compares with the death by drowning or death by automobile industry and other important Causes of children.

Lead poisoning occurs when someone breathes, swallows or in pieces of lead or dust.
After www.wcco.com, see the online news in Minneapolis, MN, 4-year-old died after swallowing a charm from a bracelet containing dangerous levels of lead. The death of this child is the first health authorities can directly attribute in jewelry.
According to kidshealth.org: "Each year in the United States are found 310000 1 - to 5-year-old children to unsafe levels of lead in blood, can result in a broad spectrum of symptoms, sore head and stomach pain to behavioral problems and anemia ( low red blood cells). Lead can also affect the developing brain of a child. "grounds for lead poisoning can be many sources that you must take care will be reduced. Not just a toy. Kidshealth.org In some places people find dangerous concentrations of lead
* Contaminated soil near busy roads, in part because lead is a component of gasoline by the end of 1970. The sOil nearby houses were painted with lead paint and can be contaminated. Contaminated soil is of particular concern because they can introduce lead dust into the house.
* The water flows through lead pipes or faucets if the old pipes begin to break
* Food stored in bowls glazed or lead, or imported from countries which lead to the fact that seals paint cans
* (Some toys, jewelry, sport, leisure and objects such as stained glass, ink, paint and plaster)
* Some people, or home remedies such as Greta and Azarcon (for treatment), digestive problems

* In the United States, 1236 children (0-18) were drowned in 2000.
* 842 accidental deaths, such as breathlessness, which a child is choking on an object like a piece of food or small toys.
In 2003, the population of children between the ages of the United States (0-19) 81,216,385. The number of chiAP attributable deaths each year, all causes was 53,539.
Hope this helps.
Zero, as far as I know.
Deaths from road accidents crush find many other reasons.
Is not it funny how the parents against all sorts of things like jelly campaign, a child died. However, they raise their children all day in the car with them, which is actually put their children in danger.
I think it is okay to ruin companies and have good products from the market that many people enjoy withdrawn for reasons of chilllllldreeeeennnnnn. But if someow a problem for the parents, not enough to ensure a safety.
The question is not the number of deaths from lead poisoning (which are rare), the problem of delay in the development and brain damage from lead exposure as a toddler.
