There's been another toy recall, this one for Fisher Price. It involves certain Sesame Street and Dora the Explorer toys that were sold in May and June of this year. Shockingly enough, it involves toys made in China and it has to do with lead content. For more information, check this out: http://www.service.mattel.com/ and click on the Recall link (which is "prominently" displayed at the bottom of the page, or at least that's where it was when I looked.)
Of course, this doesn't affect my kids all that much. Xav is a tad old for Sesame Street, and now that Gwen has dismissed Dora and her cousin Diego as "not scientific enough," they've kind of lost their appeal for both kids. Now, I know what you are thinking: Thomas the Tank Engine is not exactly a National Geographic documentary, but sibling emulation can only go so far.

The thing that gives me some pause abut these recalls is the phrasing "EXCESSIVE lead content."
Isn't ANY lead a bad thing? Didn't it get outlawed from paint in this county in like 1971?
yet another reason to boycott Wal-**** (can't be too careful with censorship) who is a large part of the reason companies are driven to use China to meet the obnoxious price cuts Wal-**** demands. Too bad they fund over half of my paycheck, albeit indirectly. One day when I am boss of the Universe I will put a stop to all of this nonsense.
