Fisher Price issues massive recall
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007
You may recall last week when I pointed out the CPSC website and where to find recent recall information as it pertains to children and infants. Just in time, because this week toy giant Fisher Price has issued a massive recall of nearly 1 million toys, all which contain excessive amounts of lead-based paint. And lead is extremely toxic, particularly for children who often times put their toys in their mouths as they’re playing. All the toys feature licensed characters (think “Sesame Street” or “Dora the Explorer”) and were manufactured in China.
If you see a toy your child is playing with after the jump, please take the toy away immediately. Then return the toy to the store you purchased it from and you will receive a voucher to purchase a replacement toy. If you’d like more information about the recall, call Fisher Price at (800) 916-4498 or visit their website. You can also visit the CPSC website for more information.
