QUIT PAWNING YOUR USED STUFFED ANIMALS OFF ONTO POOR/ABUSED/IN NEED KIDS.

If used stuffed animals are so damn wonderful, take your kid thrifting for them in consignments or thrift shops. Somehow those that insist donations of used stuffed animals are ok would never take give their kid a used one.

In a recent study performed by Dettol, a UK company that manufactures antibacterial cleaning products, microbiologists swab-tested children's used teddy bears—and the results are absolutely shocking. A frightening 80% of the toys were contaminated with staphylococcus spp, a pathogen that can actually cause food poisoning when ingested. And even scarier —as many as 25% of the stuffed animals contained coliforms, suggesting the possible presence of harmful organisms that can cause dangerous diseases. Another test in the same study suggested that 1 in 4 teddy bears even contain traces of fecal matter.

+1  I'm not nervous about germs normally, but used stuffed animals and young kids are not a good combination.  You don't know anything about the home that it's come from.[/quote]
