Small Scale Military Headquarters

Just saw on news, apparantly TRU states too much lead in the paint on the EO play sets. If posted elsewhere my apologies...

Interesting...

and those things sold well around Christmas - with all the last minute shoppers - That stuff was long gone with dozens of old Crows still waiting for some happy child...

also toys have sharp points?

pretty soon - every toy will have a label on the back that states "may cause some type of harm or death if played with incorrectly. In other words survival of the fittest - good luck."

well thats interesting

Hard to believe that these toys have hazardous paint and sharp objects!

I hope that they clear them off so that we can get more BBI Stuff anyway. They should have just stayed with 21C instead of going with a cheaper product.

While I agree with the lead issue I don't with the sharp point issue, that's overkill... Good thing they don't still make tin toys in large numbers as in the 50's-70's, there'd be an onslaught of missing fingers and tongues .

VMF214, What do you do - lick the toys? Just asking.

Amen brother!

Noticed that the same stuff branded as Kool Toyz by Target has all been recalled.
