I saw in the paper today that a local engineering firm will be testing toys at the Community Bank in Plymouth on December 15, during regular bank hours. The bank is located at 3455 Plymouth Blvd. Crane Engineering will scan up to four toys or pieces of costume jewelry per family. Their scan can detect heavy metals and other foreign elements in toys, even at very low levels. Please note that no clothes nor fine jewelry will be tested.
