Monday August 20, 2007
Sarge Die Cast Cars from MattelMattel announced the recall of around 253,000 units of Sarge die cast cars from the Cars movie toy line. Just like in the earlier Thomas the Engine toy recall, the Sarge cars have high levels of lead in the surface paint. These Chinese made 2 1/2" cars were sold either singly, or as part of a set. In contrast, the cars made in Thailand were not affected by the recall! For more information about the recall, please visit the CPSC website.
