If having normal objects isn’t your kind of scene, check out the following example of a not-so-simple pencil sharpener categorized (by me) as a pretty 2-in-1 product. The Walking Triceratops is a classic wind-up toy that can serve as a decorative item, and at the same time it has a pencil sharpener located on its “belly”.
The pencil shavings are collected in his head, which can be easily opened and emptied.
Is this not-normal-enough for you?
Price: $6.50

I love the triceratops pencil sharpener, and bought 2 to give to my grandsons, but am concerned about all the toys from China that contain lead. Can you tell me if these have been checked and are lead free?
Please send me your findings on this cute toy.

Does the triceratops pencil sharpener- Product SC09 contain lead?

I don’t know. You’re best off to check Google for that kind of info.

Waiting for an answer - does the Truceratios Pencil Sharpener contain lead? Your China Distributor should have that info available to you.
Please reply.

Marilyn,
as I stated before I don’t know if it contains lead. We DO NOT sell, distribute, make or have any connection with any items listed on the site. We just tell people about cool products we have come across.

I saw the ad, ordered the item, received it. How can you say you do not “sell or distribute” these products when Kikkerland Product #SC09 with your e-mail, and Kikkerland Design Inc. address are on the box that the item is packaged in?.
I will simply return the items as I will not expose my grand children to a product that may contain a high quantity of lead.
I’m sure you have a listing of where you get these products, sorry that you won’t make the effort to chek it out.

Vic,
Are you an employee of Kikkerland? When I first started checking on this I went to their website, but now am wondering if my original e-mail was forwarded on to this site, and I am no longer comunicating with Kikkerland.

I do not work for Kikkerland I don’t even know what Kikkerland is. We link to a company in the story called Vat19. Again no affilation with the company.

To Vic DaSilva
I need to apologize to you for getting angry with you.
It’s Kikkerland that upsets me.
Sorry.
