I heard it from the TV news. Sound scary, I use to buy Mattel Fisher toys as it is pretty reliable and durable.

Thanks for the tip.This link will be a help to most parents.Whoever imagined that buying your little darlings such colourful toys to play with was infact such a dangerous thing?And how can people be so callous as to use high lead contents in toys that children play with and put in their mouth all the time?Why is this world becoming so inhuman?

This has been a pretty continuous ordeal with china the last few months. First it was dog food, then shrimp, thomas the train toys and now fisher price. I just dont think we should do trade with them until they get their act together. I was lucky none of the toys listed did we own. My daughter loves dora and diego so i was glad i didnt have to try to tell a 3 yr old I had to throw away her favorite toys.

doesn't it seem like it would be a lot easier if we, as a nation, pulled all US production out of china, and start making it here, at home again? then there would be a little more personal sense of reliability since those you love will likely be using the products.

Thats what I say, but of course it is all politics. We have entered into a free trade agreement with them and we kind of are stuck with it. I think if the community makes enough noise however, the government will not be able to just ignore this.

THe scarest thing is my son had two of toys that were recalled, one at home and on at his papas house, as soon as I saw that it was toys that he had I couldn't remember when there were bought I rushed out and bought a home lead testing kit and tested them both a couple of times, thankfully there weren't the ones being recalled, we bought then before the date specified but it was still scary, just the thought that there could have been lead on my sons toys was really scary.

We had a bunch of the dora and diego toys as well, none of ours matched the lot numbers however, so we lucked out as well. I was very disappointed though, because I was going to purchase some of these for my daughter for xmas. I hope they replace them with safe ones before then.

I was a bit worried coz we buy our daughter Fisher Price - it's good quality & durable.
Our daughter has an Elmo guitar & although there are similar ones on the recall list, the one she has was shown on the news report so we'll send it back & see what happens.
Thankfully they pay for the shipping to & from them so that will help. We'll send it out & if it comes back then we know everything is ok with it, if not, then we'll get a replacement item of the same value & sinilar style, which i think is a very good thing!
I guess 1 reliable brand making 1 mistake is forgivable & it's not that the toy has high lead, it's only the paint so they can replace & start over. I think i'll continue to stick with Fisher Price though:)

Oh yes I agree. I wasnt suggesting that we shouldnt buy fisher price toys. It is just so frustrating all these items coming from china the past few months are tainted somehow, making them dangerous for our families. I guess what I was suggesting is that maybe our country should rethink our trade agreement with china.
