(but who is checking?) . I still
wonder if the paint in China honey  drums has lead in it?

 Bob after seeing you ask that question in a few of your posts, i said to my self,self why don't you ask that question yourself?
I think it is a real question that should be answered.
I logged on the usda web site ,sent that question to them ,then sent an email directly to the [log in to unmask] and forwarded a copy to a local reporter I have ties with.
I would think that if alot of us in the USA on this list would log onto the USDA site and ask that same question,maybe it could get answered, maybe
