70/80s Lego was toxic

I used to often have to 'bite' lego apart and now learn it was 'Chronically toxic' ffs.

I've still got a box of 1970s lego somewhere, was going to pass it on..perhaps best to bin it now..

What a non-story.

No doubt a paid for story.

So the directives that limit toxins in toys made after 1994 serve no purpose I take it?

There are no 'safe' amounts of lead that should be ingested.

Must be those do-gooders getting in the way again eh?

Not to worry Dusty you probably took in far more lead from car exhaust fumes before it was banned from petrol.
Throw away the toys if you must and don't lick pillar boxes is always good advice.

The Toys regulations were a good thing, by the way and not before time. The cheapest way of producing durable and heat resistant reds and yellows is using lead-chrome pigments. Other heavy metals used in pigments include cadmium and cobalt which are also toxic.

some old lead soldiers may also contain lead

So I'm in a quandary now; should I keep it or lego of it?

Funny people the Danes - they banned Marmite, yet at the same time they were quietly and steadily poisoning the human race.

a lot of people must be bricking it now !

flog it on ebay must be collectable now.

lucky the lads on inbetweeners were not kids in the 70's as one admitted to shoving the bricks up
hi rectum.
