Date: Thu. Aug. 2 2007 10:28 AM ET

Almost a million toys, including the popular Big Bird and Elmo and Dora the Explorer characters, are being recalled by toy manufacturer Fisher-Price because their paint contains excessive amounts of lead.

In North America the recall affects toys sold in North America between May and August. In the United States and overseas, the recall affects 83 toys. In Canada, a statement released late Wednesday by the Canadian subsidiary of Mattel/Fisher Price lists 20 different toys under the recall.

The 967,000 preschool toys were manufactured in China, before heading to store shelves in Canada and the U.S.

But David Allmark, the general manager of Fisher-Price, told The Associated Press that the company has prevented a third of those toys from reaching stores.

Current U.S. regulations prevent children's products from having more than .06 per cent lead accessible to users.

Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can adversely affect their health and could lead to learning disabilities and brain damage, according to CTV consumer reporter Pat Foran.

Mattel said children will not be affected if they lick or touch a toy on the recall list. However, if the child has chewed paint off the toy it is recommended that parents consult a pediatrician.

There have been no incidents reported in either the United States or Canada.

The issue was discovered after an internal investigation and the results were submitted to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Mattel, the parent company of Fisher-Price, last had to pull products off the shelves when 10 million Power Wheels toys were recalled from stores in 1998.

Allmark said that Fisher-Price has had a long standing relationship with the Chinese vendor which had applied decorative paint to the toys and would review their methods of monitoring vendors as a result of the matter.

"We are still concluding the investigation, how it happened . . . But there will be a dramatic investigation on how this happened," Allmark told the Associated Press. "We will learn from this.''

The recall regarding the lead paint on toys is just the latest issue surrounding products being manufactured in China.

The past year has been marked by recalls stemming from products made in China, such as the melamine-tainted pet food that killed cats and dogs across North America.

China's product safety watchdog recently shut down Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Co. Ltd. and Binzhou Futian Biology Technology Co. Ltd., two companies linked to the recalled pet food.

"What this is doing is just shining the spotlight on China again," Foran told CTV's Canada AM. "We've had the pet food scandal earlier this year. We've had counterfeit Colgate toothpaste and now we've had more than a million toys from China being recalled and what's happening is that manufacturers are looking for a place to make things cheaply and they can look to China to have it done."

Consumers who bought one of the recalled Fisher-Price toys can exchange the product for another of the same value, or for a voucher. For more information, owners can call the Mattel hotline at 800-916-4498, or visit the website here.

Unfortunately, there are no laws tight enough to prevent this from happening & nothing is made in Canada anymore so what is a parent to do?

Okay, it's high time importers of this junk found other, more reputable suppliers. I'm tired of having dangerous goods manufactured in China making their way into my home. I'd gladly pay more for quality. Time to start reading labels...made in China will be staying on the shelf for me.

My children have had the Dora Vamanos van for more than a year and a half. Why are we just finding out about this now? And what kind of side effects can we expect to see in our children?

I have been trying hard not to buy "Made in China" products with FOOD being on my highest hit list. But honestly, what do you expect of a communist country that does not care one bit about their own people? No pollution controls, no safety cares for its workers, etc, etc. Too bad almost everything is now made there. However, with how supply and demand works, until people stop wanting to get "stuff" cheap, this is going to continue. I still need to purchase items that are manufactured there, but now that it is seriously hitting these companies bottom line, they are going to think twice... or at least, that is the hope.

We should keep the jobs in Canada anyway. Who cares if toys cost a bit more. My kids have too many toys anyway. It would be better to have fewer and better ones. And we would know they're safe.

Most of what is made in foreign countries only passes through one's house on the way to the local landfill anyways. Consumers, and not just parents, should think of everything they buy, every day. The first question should always be "is it necessary". My children will never own any Elmo, Big Bird or Sponge Bob, etc, etc, heat-formed, plastic injected, spray-finished disposable toys. This disposable, eco-venient society is self destructive. Darwin’s Law if you buy this crap!

I am glad that the recall has happened and
kudos to Mattel/ Fisher Price for coming forward to admit there was a problem because we would've never known. I think that toys for our kids should be made under strict safety laws and made in the USA! Not overseas or in Mexico

Tammy - if you notice in the beginning of the article, it only recalls the toys made between May 2007 and now. Toys bought before then apparently are fine.

The recalled products were sold in retail stores since May 1, 2007. The ones you had in your home prior to this are unaffected.

Strangely, many of the items on this list do not appear on any internet sites except for news stories about the recall (like the M2051 Let's Go Rescue Center). Is this because they haven't made it to stores, as the story mentions that some things were intercepted? Or are there errors in the list?

The true China is now showing through. They are coming after us not only with missles that can knock our satellites out of space, but also with poisoned food products, toxic counterfeit drugs, and now tainted toys. "Made in China" now means "purchase at your own risk." Vote with your wallet - reduce your purchases of products from China. Demand the "Made in America" products at stores and they (retailers) will follow the money.

I think that this is a wake up call for all of us, thankfully, my children do not have these toys, but what a scare I had going through there toy boxes to make sure of it. Now let's put things into perspective here!First it was the drugged fish that we were getting from China, now there are toys that OUR babies play with full of lead.....now it seems to me that we are fighting the wrong kind of terrorist. And we should be taking a long hard look at China and our trade policies.

I am so sick of these huge corporations thinking only about the money that is going into their wallets and not about the safety of others, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN! It is frightening that you have to think twice about allowing your children to play with a toy because it is potentially harmful. The answer to this problem is to ENFORCE stricter regulations and testing standards on products that have been outsourced or just simply stop outsourcing products all together. After all, our children are worth us paying higher prices for toys manufactured in our own country if it guarantees their safety.

This is a rude wake up call. We need tougher laws with regards to items that are made in China. I hope that we can all learn a lesson from this.

This is a real concern for any parent, what's going to happen next? All these toys could end up being sold on the internet to other unsuspecting parents. They should have never been passed as SAFE in the first place.

What else has lead in it?
We cannot assume that only leaded paint from toys can harm our children.
I am a musician and could not help but notice a high amount of "affordable" musical instruments made in China. Guitars are painted. Violins for small children are painted.(Consider buying from USA, Japan and Canada)

What is China doing to rectify this?

Just think everyone, this is just one company! Do you think every company HAS come foreward about these matters? By the way, Mattel, good catch! Take a look around you no matter what it is and where you are at. You are surrounded by counterfeit or substandard products with inferior substances or fabricated composition that is more likely made in a country other than our own.

CH I agree with you if people would live simply than others could simply live. What did kids do before plastic toys? I know mine play with pots and pans, dirt, homemade playdough. All the toys my son has have been presents from other people for birthdays.

I am a health care professional and one of my patients was riding a bike bought from Canadian Tire, made in China. The pedal had a defect and broke, slashing this young man's leg. Canadian Tire refused to address this, and told the parent that the bike was made in China and gave the family no info on how to or where to send a complaint. I am afraid that this accident could have been a lot worse and I should think that anyone selling faulty merchandise would want to prevent harm caused by a product they endorse. Perhaps it is time for Canadians to buy Canadian and to hold merchants responsible for products they sell and endorse.

Toys recalled, tires recalled, pet food recalled, now what is the common denominator?
Are Canadians going to wake up and realize we need to stop buying cheap Chinese imports?
Not likely in this society where the attitude is" Why would I buy one North American made item when I can get two cheap China imports." Canadians are so stupid we are putting ourselves out of jobs and risking our health just for some "cheap" goods.

You were the ones that rushed to Walmart over the past 15 years trying to save a few $$. The Canadian and US manufacturing jobs are long gone despite the predictions of this type of thing. Not that anyone deserves to be hurt, but none of you can say you weren't warned.

Pick up the product, check the country of origin label, if Made in China, put it back on the shelf. Consumer rejection and corporate losses are a far better mechanism for protection than anything the government can do.

True enough that some dangerous products are being produced in China. But do not lose sight that importers have to take responsibilty for end-consumer safety. Personally, I would stay away from importers such as Fisher-Price until they can get their act together. The extensive recall list points to a faulty purchasing practice by Fisher-Price.

As Canadian citizens we need to demand better regulations for things like this. I agree with Alex Sz. What else can we expect when many of these products are produced in factories where the employees are paid pennies a day and work in horrendous conditions? If they don't value their employees (fellow citizens) why would they care about the health and safety of the users of the merchandise they produce. Whatever happened to "Made in Canada" anyway?

I am glad this was brought to the public's attention hopefully there will be no harm to our children? Look what happen to all the animals that have died or gotten ill with the food. Should we take our children to the doctors now as they love to put things in their mouth?

My son has some of the toys listed in the recall but they were purchases before May 1, 2007. Mattel says they are not a part of the recall but how do I know they are safe? Are they sure that the toys made prior to that date don't contain lead?

Whether it's Made in China/US/UK/Germany/Japan there's always going to be problems that pop up once in awhile. I believe the US is hyping and focusing on this to pressure the Chinese to raise their currency - it's just another tactic by the Americans. Are we forgetting all other products made from other countires that have recalls aside from China? Lets look on a bigger scale - the collapse of the Minn. Bridge "Made In The U.S.A" is the safe? Should we all stop driving to the US?

And everyone wonders why so many of our jobs aren't here anymore. Companies like this going outside our county for cheaper labor. Well, is it worth it? This is just so sad. Just really how many of our kids products have lead in them. Do we really know? Have many of the companies manufacturing overseas have told us the whole truth about their proudcts? I doubt they are. Why would they? They would lose too much money. If they would just produce their products in America maybe people wouldn't be so afraid. I know no matter what, I won't be buying products made anywere else anymore! Especially for my children!!

"Made in China" isn't really the issue - corporations have known about the quality problems for years - they are a developing country after all, and not as heavily regulated as say, the USA.

So the REAL problem is the lack of direction and quality control by the corporations over their overseas manufacturing. Yeah, you can applaud Mattel for organising the recall, but heck, they can afford it.... AND the cost (what isn't covered by insurance anyway) would still be way less than any claims that may evenuate if, heaven forbid, a little kid was injured.

If it says "Made in China" I do not buy it! I will never buy anything again if it does not say "Made in Canada" or "Made in USA." the only way to send the message to BIG-BUSINESS is to speak with our wallets. Please, for the sake of the free world, boycott products that are not made in North America. The Chinese have been taking full advantage of us for years, we have to fight back.

U.S. and Canadian companies should move the factories to Mexico. They are closer so quality control is easier to accomplish and it will help with immigration issues because people can work there.

I know that this lead issue is becoming a very big deal but come on, most of us adults that are having kids now, had lead in a lot of toys and other stuff and we grew up just fine. I think it is going a little too far, pretty soon our children will not be able to play with anything unless it is an antibacterial toy.

I have read comments and yes it is scary! I have children myself but face it people you would gripe over the expensiveness of toys made else where. Don't forget there has been many recalls on U.S. made items. You yourselves grew up with items made from China and have survived!! Some comments surprise me, are we starting mass hysteria? Against Chinese?

First the Thomas the Tank Engine recall, and now this. Very disturbing, since these are toys for small children who might put them in their mouths.

I'm a little surprised at the reactions. I agree FP is ultimately responsible for the safety and quality of the products they send to the shelves...but it is a well known fact that many of the plastic toys our children play with contain lead...up to .06% who determined this is a "safe" standard? I suspect this is a compromise not a decision made in the best interest of our children...this to me is still unacceptable, we as parents are ultimately responsible for the health and well being of our children. Buy a lead testing kit and get these toys out of your homes.


Rob

I think it is odd that many comments are bashing a manufacturer who has not had a major recall since 1998. Just because something is "made in China" does not make it worse than something that is "made in Canada" or "made in USA".

Everyone is looking for "cheap" not realizing that it is "cheap" for a reason. Why is it we support China more than we support America when it comes to jobs and $. "Cheap" is cheap for a reason. I try to not buy things made in China, but it is getting so hard anymore when it seems like almost 90% of our stuff in America is made from China.

I agree with most every sentiment posted. Ultimately we are the protectors of our children and if it is "Made in America" we want then we need to post that desire everywhere and anywhere we can. If we let our elected officials know how we feel, they have to follow.

Anyone who thinks a 'Made in Canada' or 'Made in USA' label is a way to skirt around the 'Made in China' issue is kidding themselves. There are countless items that carry the former two labels while their internal components - or the pieces that went into making them - carry the latter. That's because due to loopholes in legal structures and shady offshore factories only a certain percentage of items needs to be assembled in a given locale in order to carry that particular label.

If we want to buy Canadian made toys then we MUST convince the toy manufacturers to build them in Canada. Send your emails direct to FISHER PRICE / MATTEL to get the message across. Our children are worth more than having CHEAPER products that can ultimately harm our children.

It is tragic that someone's greed is taking priority over our children's safety. The government and our consumer driven society must make changes. There are options out there - purchasing Canadian made toys, although difficult can be found. This issue frustrates me greatly and as minor an infraction it may seem to law makers, it is so important and becoming a more regular occurence that it needs to be addressed now!

How do you explain it to your children when you have to take their cherished playthings away from them? A couple of weeks ago we had to remove all of our 4 year old's Thomas toys. Now it's our 1 year old's turn with Elmo and Dora. What's next? Where does it end?

We don't paint our homes and walls with lead paint anymore. We don't use "lead" in our gasoline anymore. Why is it still being used on our children's toy's? As a science teacher, I know all too well the effects of lead and other heavy metals. Excuse me, I have to take away my son's Diego toys now.

I am very upset. I was at a local chain store today and was buying a toy Dora toy for my daughter, and it rang up 'Can not sell.' The store clerk told me she couldn't sell the item, that it might have been recalled. My daughter was with me and of course had a fit, because she couldn't get the toy. I didn't catch the news last night or this morning, so I found about the recall because I couldn't purchase a toy that was still on the shelf. Not only is it ridiculous that these toys are put on our shelves, but the impact it has on our children physically and emotionaly. I now have to go through my daughter's toys and take away her other Dora toys.
