Toys recalled in lead content scare

[SPDAY]

Over 1.5 million Chinese-made, Fisher-Price children's toys have
been recalled over high levels of lead in paint used in the
products

The recalled toys, which include popular pre-school characters
like Elmo, Big Bird, and Dora, were made by a contract
manufacturer in China using a non-approved paint pigment
containing lead

The company said it is recalling roughly 967,000 plastic toys from
the US market and about 533,000 from international markets

In all, more than 94,000 units of the problem toys have gone on
sale in stores across Ireland and Britain
