Have you ever wondered if the toys your kids have played with for years contain lead? What about your everyday products not “protected” by toy-inspections? Healthy Child Healthy World has partnered with Inspect-A-Toy, Inc a southern California based company that screens children's toys, jewelry and other consumer products in the home for the presence of the harmful toxin lead. Founders Bram Klein and his wife started the company because they wanted to be proactive in finding and removing lead laden toys from their home and the homes of their clients.

Overwhelmed with scary reports in the media and the millions of toy recalls from 2007, they created Inspect-A-Toy. They are the only in-home lead screening service in California. They also work directly with day-care facilities, schools, retail stores, activity centers and importers to assist them in detecting harmful items BEFORE they hit the store shelves and eventually end up in our homes. They regularly meet with Mom’s Clubs throughout Southern California to educate them about lead in toys and the dangers of lead exposure. Inspect-A-Toy has been featured in the Orange County Register, Parenting Magazine, on local television programs and on CNN Headline News.

The expensive X-Ray Fluorescence device provides laboratory-grade results, is exceptionally accurate and does not require the tester to damage the item tested. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recently announced that At-Home Lead Test Kits, being sold on-line and in retail stores, are unreliable and inaccurate.

Child safety is of the utmost importance to Inspect-A-Toy. “As a father of a two year old girl and another on the way, we are passionate about our business and the peace of mind and assurance parents get from testing their children's belongings” says owner Bram Klein. “Over the past few months we have found hundreds of items containing excessive and unlawful amounts of Lead all throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. Please see our website for additional information about our business, including testimonials from many of our clients. We screen items using the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendation of 40 parts per million.”
