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

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."

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.

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