Okay, let's look at it this way, why would there be a problem with a painted, wood bat?

We're talking FEDlandia, don't forget. They don't need a problem to come up with a solution in the name of safety. The paint has a less than .01% chance of being lead-based, after all.

I don't think it's necessarily FED's fault. You can thank/blame the lawyers of this country for many of FED's rules. They're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Guess you also have to blame the Drs. and hospitals that force the parents of the kids that got maimed, injured or otherwise to pay ridiculous dollars for their treatment. Then how about the manufacturer that is making money on a product that may be unsafe then has to be sued to make amends for a unsafe product. Or how about the politicians that allow unscroupolus manufaturers to create unsafe sporting equipment.

In then end though, how about you and me that vote the politcians in office.

There will ALWAYS be enough people around to blame.

BUT, if it was your child injured, What would you do???
