Yet Another Toy Recall, 800,000 Units
And the poisonous products just keep on rolling. Parents, you may want to start checking your kids toys to find ones NOT made in China. Then again, do these things even exist?
I can’t remember a single childhood toy I had that was NOT made in China, that is with the exception of handmade wooden toys… but then again, I’ll bet even Linkin’ Logs and the like are made in China. Damn. Good luck…
The recall is the latest blow to the world’s largest toy maker as the critical holiday shopping season approaches.
Mattel said the action involves a total of more than 800,000 units, including 675,000 Barbie doll accessories, because of excessive amounts of lead-tainted paint.
The recall also covers 90,000 units of Mattel’s GeoTrax locomotive line and 8,900 Big Big World 6-in-1 Bongo Band toys, both from the company’s Fisher-Price brand. The Big Big World products were sold nationwide from July through August of this year, while the GeoTrax toys were sold from September 2006 through August of this year.
The recalled Barbie accessories were sold between October 2006 and August of this year. No Barbie dolls were included in the action.
The details of the recall were negotiated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
