Toy: Made In China

As a father I often worry about my kids. I want to make sure that they are well taken care of and they are not exposed to anything dangerous that would definitely harm them. Sometimes it is easy, for instance this slide is an easy no-no!

However there are times where it is not as easy to determine what is safe and what is dangerous. Coleman has this toy he likes to chew on, it is colorful, looks funny, makes noise, but I am not sure if it is toxic or nontoxic. It was made in China, and if you follow the news, you know that they used a bunch of lead based paint on children’s toys… here is a picture:

What I would like is your opinion. Do you think this is a safe or should I not chance it? Thank you for your input.
