I like her “spunk,” but if you have that many toys in the first place… maybe… that’s… the… real… issue?
I don’t even know where to start with woman. Clearly someone who shouldn’t have children.
I shall only buy toys made by Mexican sweat shop children. The Chinese sweat shop children clearly don’t know how to make a decent toy.

i totally agree, mattel fucked up they should fix it, especially on something this big.
Did her sons smash their Ibook, and XM receivers?
I am so sick of people videotaping themselves making symbolic “gestures” such as this or smashing their tv/xbox/laptop/etc, and then posting its somewhere with their “look at me!” attitude.
I’m even sicker of MSM “news” sites like CNN covering it like it’s a real story.
*click* oh, it’s a video. *back*

Honestly, why can’t these outlets run captions on the stories when they caption them when they run on TV?

This is a really crappy piece of journalism. This woman was afraid her kids’ toys were contaminated with lead. She found out that they were fine. The video displays many clearly identifiable toys, yet doesn’t clearly state if they’re safe toys like the woman owns, or whether they’re the dangerous, lead-contaminated ones.
