Just read that Fisher-Price has made an announcement about a recall of up to 1 million Chinese-made Fisher-Price toys that contain paint that has excessive amounts of lead.
Thankfully, we don’t have many Fisher-Price toys and the ones we have are not on the recall list. You can check whether your toys are on recall list through this link on the Fisher-Price website.
Anyway, it’s still a good idea to make sure your kids don’t put the toys into their mouths just to be extra careful.
UPDATE: Here’s another write-up on International Herald Tribune.
UPDATE II - 3 August 2007: Just read in Singapore’s Straits Times today had an advertisement from Mattel that there are only 4 products that are recalled in Singapore. And in Australia, 43,000 toys are recalled and you can see the model numbers via the link.
