Yeah, I know where you're coming from, but to be frank, I kind of liked knowing my kid's crib didn't have lead based paint, the result of some sensible regulation (a labeling requirement probably would have sufficed, and the regulators should have been private ones, but that's another story.)

That being said, we have gone way too far in the other direction. No BB guns, no lawn darts, helmet laws for rollerskates, etc. etc. Taking voluntary risks is completely different from somebody sneaking something in on you like unlabeled lead paint in a crib.

You can thank your local liability lawyer for the current state of affairs. It's going to get worse, too. I expect amusement park rides will be extinct when my grandchildren are born.
