More information about recalled toys

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Mattel Inc., announced the recall of: About 253,000 "Sarge" die cast toy cars, because of lead paint hazards. About 7.3 million play sets with various Polly Pocket dolls and accessories with magnets, because the magnets can come loose, posing a hazard if swallowed or aspirated. About 1 million Doggie Day Care play sets, 683,000 Barbie and Tanner play sets, and 345,000 Batman and One Piece magnetic action figure sets, again because they have small magnets inside that can fall out. Although most parents are aware of the hazards from lead paint, many don't know that small magnets can be dangerous.
