Follow me on:

Slowly, but surely, the list of toy recalls is getting longer. This is bound to happen, considering the fact that as more and more toy manufacturers start to test their products, sub-standard and unsafe products are going to emerge. By the end of the year, I'm expecting far more recalls to be announced. Hopefully, as I write, toy production standards are being firmly put into place, ensuring safety of future toys. The next holiday season should be a much safer and happier one for the toy industry!

In a nutshell, here are the recalled toys from the CPSC as per their most current statement:

1. KB Toys Recalls Wooden Toys Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard
2. Kids II Recalls Baby Einstein Color Blocks Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard
3. Eveready Battery Co. Recalls Toy Flashlights Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard
4. Dollar General Recalls Tumblers Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard
5. CKI Recalls Children's Decorating Sets Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard; Sold Exclusively at Toys "R" Us
6. Key Chains Recalled by Dollar General Due to Risk of Lead Exposure
7. Antioch Publishing Recalls Bookmarks and Journals Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard
