dmarc117 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070801/toy_recall.html?.v=10 WASHINGTON (AP) -- Toy-maker Fisher-Price is recalling 83 types of toys -- including the popular Big Bird, Elmo, Dora and Diego characters -- because their paint contains excessive amounts of lead. The worldwide recall being announced Thursday involves 967,000 plastic preschool toys made by a Chinese vendor and sold in the United States between May and August. It is the latest in a wave of recalls that has heightened global concern about the safety of Chinese-made products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Damn. That's a LOT of toys, and popular ones, too. My mother in law bought us the "Sesame Street Shape Sorter" that is being recalled, but it's still at her house because we got so many toys for Christmas.
