    Don't worry. Toys that are made to be "mouthed" by infants and toddlers are
    made to be safe. Stay away from cheap toys and you shouldn't have anything
    to worry about.

    Unless your kids' mouth gets as hot as a microwave, no worries there either.

    But I can't emphasize enough to stay away from those dime store "Asian"
    imports.
