DISPLAYING ABSTRACT - *Laboratory tests show certain vinyl baby bibs sold at Toys 'R' US stores appear to be contaminated with lead, making inexpensive bibs another example of made-in-China product that may be health hazard to children; vinyl bibs are sold for less than $5 each under store brand labels, including Especially for Baby and Koala Baby; tests financed by Center for Environmental Health show lead as high as three times level allowed in paint in several styles of bibs purchased from Toys 'R' Us and Babies 'R' Us stores in California; separate test by laboratory hired by New York Times of same Toys 'R' Us bibs, purchased in Maryland, finds similar level of contamination; Toys 'R' Us says tests done by independent lab show bibs to be in compliance with safety standards for lead levels; Consumer Product Safety Commission says it would prefer that there be no elevated levels of lead in bibs
