A new website gives you quick access to information about possible lead contamination in toys - by name, brand, or type.

Healthytoys.org says its research shows which toys are safe, and which are not.

For instance it found high lead levels in a host of toys. Its top four include the Brush your Teeth robot, Starletz dinner party tea set, the Starlets large ceramic tea set, and Elmo's Take Along Card games.

A Michigan non-profit organization founded the website and says it tested 1,200 children's products and more than 3,000 components of those products.

The website provides general information on whether or not certain chemicals were detected. It can't say whether or not those chemicals will leach out and potentially cause harm. The website also has a list of good toys it tested.
