In what’s sure to be a massive blow to their bottom line, Mattel has expanded their previous Fisher-Price recall to include more than 9 million Mattel toys because they may contain high levels of lead paint or small, strong magnets that can cause severe intestinal problems if swallowed. Some of the toys involved are die-cast cars from the Pixar movie Cars, Polly Pocket, Barbie, and Batman play sets, and many others. Mattel is on massive spin control this morning, taking out a full page ad in the New York Times that stated, in part, that Mattel “was one of the most trusted names with parents and was working extremely hard to address your concerns and continue creating safe, entertaining toys for you and your children.” A bit hard to believe in light of this recent news… Visit the Mattel website for more information and a complete list of the toys involved.
