Bledsoe offers toxic toy testing

Unsure about the provenance of some of the gifts left under the Christmas tree? Suspicious of the "made in China" label on others? Rep. Tim Bledsoe is offering a testing program to put your mind at ease.

Bledsoe will host a free toy safety workshop on Jan. 14 for families to learn more about the problem of toxic toys. With many children's products recalled every year by the most popular toy companies, parents are encouraged to bring toys and other children's products for chemical testing by representatives of the Michigan Ecology Center.

The event will be held at Trombly Elementary School, in the gym, at 7 p.m. For more information, please contact Bledsoe's office toll-free at (888) 254-5291 or via e-mail.
