Bad Kiddy Product

This is NOT too funny any longer, the growing number of toys being recalled that were made in Lead-Based China. These lists of bad toys represent about half of The Princess’ loot pile ’round our house. The Princess is NOT going to be happy when her Polly Pockets collection gets hauled off to the dumpster today. Don’t say I didn’t warn you if you can hear The Princess howling all the way down in Macon.

“The scope of these recalls is intentionally large to prevent any injuries from occurring,” she (Nancy A. Nord, acting Consumer Product Safety Commission chairman) told the news conference.

Several injuries had been reported in an earlier Polly Pocket recall last November. In all, at least one U.S. child has died and 19others have needed surgery since 2003 after swallowing magnets used in various toys, the government said.

“The scope of these recalls is intentionally large to prevent any injuries from occurring,” she told the news conference.
