The Sarge jeep, Elmo / Dora / SpongeBob, and Thomas the Tank Engine recalls are for lead paint.

I am getting confused on the reason for the recall. Could you help me out? Do I understand correct that the Polly Pockets and Batman recall is only for magnets and notlead?

The little boy died after swallowing two magnet balls and some parents tried everything to have then recalled but they are still on the store shelves.

Typically these things don't affect me, but in May I had to toss Thomas the Train, yesterday I tossed Dora, and now today the NYTimes tells me my new Toys R Us bib might be tainted with lead. What the heck, people! I'm afraid, as you mention in your post, we'll see more execs scapegoating China. I read an interesting post about how the “pr spin” from Mattel and other individual companies obfuscates the bigger problem. It's a call for accountability.

The last time your blogged about this, it didn't make the news ... perhaps not products that are shipped over here. I agree re local produce, less environmental impact too.
