Fisher Price, like pretty much every other company, manufactures their stuff in China. This time however someone decides a little lead in the paint might be a good idea. It's a wonder this stuff doesn't happen more often.
But you know what I'm even more pissed about? Information about the recall ISN'T ON THE TOP PAGE OF FISHER-PRICE.COM. Don't you think inadvertently poisoning kids might be reason enough to put information about the recall in the easiest place you can think of online?
Check out this web page to see if you've got any stuff you've got to send back. I've got a few things actually (sorry Chef Dora, your days are numbered).
Here's the link again for official info about the recall.
At Toy Stores, Recall Casts Doubt On Trusted Friends [Washington Post]
You know, pediatricians should start asking parents if they have Fisher Price toys, just like they ask if they've had their paint tested for lead.

The recall was troubling,because Fisher-Price has had a long-standing relationship with the Chinese vendor, which had applied decorative paint to the toys...
