MATTEL RECALLS MORE LEAD-TAINTED CHINESE TOYS

From USA Today:

Mattel announced another recall of lead-tainted toys from China late Tuesday, its third such announcement in about a month.

The recall of nearly 800,000 Fisher-Price and parent company Mattel-brand products includes Barbie accessories, such as lead-tainted puppies and cats; GeoTrax trains; and toy bongo drums. All were sold within the last year.

Children can get lead poisoning from sucking on or swallowing toys or jewelry with lead. Lead can cause learning and behavior problems and even death.
