I imagine that is why the trucks being loaded now could not be stopped, already sold in lots to be shipped out.
Yep. Some years ago I tried to donate a toddler potty chair. They told me that they couldn't accept it because "it might have been painted with a lead-based paint and a child could put it in their mouth." It was a plastic potty chair! Not painted at all. I took it to the Salvation Army instead.
