“Michael May: Bargain hunter Jennifer Martinez is going into this Family Dollar Store in East Austin. She can buy each of her 4 children a toy for a dollar. She takes a careful look, though.

Jennifer Martinez: If it’s something that’s dangerous for them, something that has lead in it, I’m sure — I’m hoping — it would say on there, give some kind of warning or something.

Martinez has reason to be vigilant. The dollar store has an entire aisle of costume jewelry, action figures and toy cars from China — just the sort of items recently found to have lead paint. But consumers can’t rely on package warnings.”*
