Be sure to check the CPSC Toy Recall page. There are more recalls, many due to lead paint. Here are the latest since my last post:

-Lan Enterprises Recalls Doll Strollers After Child’s Finger Tip was Severed; Product Also Poses an Entrapment Hazard to Young Children

-Guidecraft Inc. Recalls Children’s Puppet Theaters Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard

-Children’s Toy Rakes Sold Exclusively at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores Recalled Due to Violation of Lead in Paint Standard

-RC2 Recalls Knights of the Sword Toys Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard

-Target Recalls Children’s Toy Gardening Tools and Chairs Due to Violation of Lead Paint

-RC2 Corp. Recalls Additional Thomas & Friends™ Wooden Railway Toys Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard

I have not linked individually to these, but if you think you might have any of these toys, please go to the CPSC Toy Recall Page for more in-depth links to the recalled toys.

The toy manufacturers have obviously been working 24-7 testing all their China-built toys for lead paint, and Fisher Price and Mattel have come up with some new recalls. Check the CPSC Website for full details, but if you have any Barbie accessories, Fisher Price Big Big World 6-in-1 Bongo Band toys, or Fisher Price Geo Trax train sets, then you had really better check it out.

Most of you have probably heard, but today there has been yet another recall of toys made in China due to either lead paint, or magnets that could come loose. Check the US Consumer Product Safety Commission website to see if any of your toys are on the recall list.

OK, I am with Jen of Never A Dull Moment on this one: why do they still manufacture toys containing lead paint??? To save money somehow I am sure.

Thanks to Jen for her prompt alert regarding this toy recall. Read the Consumer Product Safety Commission Notice and check your Thomas trains.
