Call me a troglodyte...

...but I'm thinkin'... you can't make a non-leaded pacifier -- we don't want your business.
-- OTTAWA -- About 10,000 baby pacifiers sold in Canada were recalled Thursday after they were tested positive for high levels of lead, according to Health Canada.

The soothers were manufactured in Thailand.

Exposure to lead can cause vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, coma or even death. Infants, young children and pregnant women are the most susceptible to lead poisoning, Health Canada said.
