Lead Toy Exchange In Mar Vista This Weekend
Posted in Community on 18. Feb, 2009
The office of the City Attorney is conducting a toy exchange and testing program this Saturday, February 21st, across the city of LA, and here in Mar Vista it’s conveniently located at Grand View Blvd. Elementary school.
Bring toys that you suspect may have high levels of lead and you can find out for sure. They’ll also be testing childrens costume jewelry, ceramic tea playsets, childrens backpacks and lunch boxes, childrens Halloween costumes and pajamas.
If a toy is found to contain high levels of lead, it may be exchanged for a $25 American Express gift card. Did I read that right??? Yes, I did. (Limit 2 gift card exchanges per household.)
The event lasts from 12 pm until 4pm and they’d like you to RSVP, so here’s the link for that. Grand View school is located at 3951 Grand View Blvd., just south of Venice Blvd.
