Production of the Caylee dolls was not stopped. They just changed the names of the dolls to Gracie and two other names.

Who gets Botox when pregnant??? There are so many things we’re supposed to be careful about eating and doing while pregnant that why would someone think injecting that into them would be OK for the baby? Also, there aren’t too many women who have children after 45…why would you *need* Botox before then??? I’m surprised they’ve only tied one case of birth defects to it.

Apparently this doll has been in production for some time. They recently added the name “Caylee” which was a sick stupid thing to do. He’s stopped selling the Caylee doll all though the dolls are still available with different names, it looks like its a customizable thing. What is STILL being sold (Caylee Sunshine products) are Bracelets, tshirts and stickers. This Guy was on Nancy grace and gave a vague explanation about what “charities” were profiting from the sale of those products. He tried to say the Center for Missing and exploited children didn’t accept donations from companies. This is in fact not true. Totally a shady guy. His site is hosted by blogger. Complain to them hopefully they’ll take this sick site down. This site is still running as of this writing and it still says Caylee Sunshine at the top of the page. Hard to believe that there are actually positive comments on this guy’s site from people who think its actually a great way to remember this little girl. Although they look very similar in writing style I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy wrote those positive comments himself. One person actually asked for a hair color change to make the doll look more like Caylee. Then she asked for free dolls with the hair color change be given to herself, George, Cindy, Casey and Lee Anthony.
