In other of my blogs I have info about recalls on pet food, people food and products but now it’s time for a toy recall.<\/p>\n
I have taken to looking carefully on products to see from whence they come – if it’s made in China – it stays in the store..Why tae chances with anyone’s health..clearly the Chinese manufacturers are learning form us – if the bottom line s good for the company – who cares how many people\/children\/pets are damaged!<\/p>\n
From the NY TImes<\/span><\/p>\n June 15, 2007 The toy maker RC2 Corporation pulled a number of its Thomas & Friends trains and accessory parts off the shelves yesterday after learning that the red and yellow paint used to decorate more than 1.5 million of the toys contained lead.<\/p>\n Lead, if ingested by children, can cause long-term neurological problems that affect learning and behavior.<\/p>\n \u201cParents should not delay in getting these toys away from their kids,\u201d Scott Wolfson, spokesman for the Consumer Product Safety Commission, said yesterday.<\/p>\n An alert posted at a Web site devoted to the toy line, www.totallythomas.com<\/a>, included a list of more than two dozen items affected by the recall. The company noted that toys that bear a code containing a \u201cWJ\u201d or \u201cAZ\u201d on the bottom of the toy or the inside of the battery door are not included in the recall.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
