LIST OF RECALLED TOYS FOR LEAD POISONING HAZARDS- CHILDRENS TOY RECALLS FROM CHINA usrecallnews/2007/10/list-of-recalled-toys-for-lead-poisoning-hazards-childrens-toy-recalls-from-china.html Just to give you an idea of how many children’s toys have been recalled due to lead poisoning hazards and/or violations of lead safety standards, we have compiled a list based on all of the recalls announced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) so far this year. Note: It may not be 100% complete at any given time since new recalls are coming out every day (sometimes it seems like every hour). Toys are recalled for a variety of reasons, often for design flaws that pose strangulation hazards, loose parts that pose choking hazards, poorly written instructions (as was the case in a recent Crib Recall), and more than a few involving toys with small magnets recalled for the risk of being swallowed and sticking together inside a child’s intestines. Therefore, although the list below only includes those children’s toy recalls involving lead, parents are advised to read ALL recalls announced by the CPSC, and to subscribe to our Consumer Product Recall Feed or Newsletter. We will endeavor to keep you up to date on the toys that should be avoided this Christmas season and beyond. Be aware when you give gifts so you don’t end up doing more harm than good this holiday season.
