EFFORT

Environmentally Friendly (Formerly Objectionable) Recalled Toys

Recalled toys encpsulated in clear acrylic
safely rendering the lead paint, magnets and other dangers inert.

Rather than filling our landfills with hazards
(out of site out of mind, yet still hazardous) 
chairs, art, and safe things to climb and play with will be created.

The first series will be donated to charitable organizations

 

Turning lemons into lemonade and making a positive difference in the world


If you or anyone you know has any of the recalled toys would you please donate them to the project?  Please ONLY recalled toys.


Following is the link for all recalled toys from the present back to 1975 
www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/category/toy.html

The toys are needed as soon as possible. 
If you're unable to deliver them, please contact me to make pick up arrangements.

My thanks to NUVO for a very nice article about the project located at
