The problem is that most of these products are made in countries that don't care about silly things like safety. Now the lead paint problem that plagued the toy industry during last year's holiday season has reportedly hit the Disney star and her "products".
Idolator reported this little tid bit of info: "Vinyl backpacks, a vinyl purse and other Hannah Montana items purchased from Wal-Mart (WMT, Fortune 500), Target (TGT, Fortune 500) and Toys 'R' Us stores contained the toxic metal, some of them in excess of the federal standard for lead paint, the CEH said. According to the organization, it purchased 28 Hannah Montana products in stores and online. Five of them tested between three and fourteen times the federal standard." oops
"Lead can impact girls' learning and development throughout their youth and later can reduce their ability to have healthy children.". Idolator has more on this with a link to an article about another Hannah product that was recently recalled due to potential injuries to her fans. - Read that here.
