Should I worry?
My daughter turned 2 in September. Her doctor just called and told me that her LEAD level is at a 10 which is the highest it can be and to take her to the lab to be tested. I am very worried that something is seriously wrong. Should I be worried or is this something common. We live in a new house and there is no lead in our paint or water. I am scared and really need some advice.

You definitely do need to be concerned - lead poisoning can be fatal in some cases - but don't panic. Get your daughter to the lab ASAP to get her tested. If you're positive that there is no lead in your paint or water, then I would definitely check her toys next. You can go to http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/category/toy.ht... to see what toys have been recalled.
Good luck.

Have you been following all the toy recalls from China? There are many, many toys on the list that my son has, and I had to go through and throw a lot away. The reason for the recall was the lead. I definitely don't think it's common.

I think you should not worry my son had a hi level when he was younger I took him to the doctor and they told me to take some of his toys away and that is what I did.

You should all be tested for lead. If it is something in your environment, you and your husband will have it too. If it is only your child, then she is in contact with something that you are not
