Aqua Dots Toy Recall

My daughter looks at these every time we go in to Target . . . I have never gotten her any, thankfully! Looks like the toy of the year isn’t so grand anymore :-( Please check out the recall information.

And please sign up for the CPSC alert e-mail so you get notices automatically when toys are recalled.

Mattel Toy Recall

Another toy recall . . . this one involving Sarge toy cars (from the movie Cars), Barbie and Tanner (one of my personal favorites) as well as others. There is an article on MSNBC and the one on the Mattel site. There have been multiple recalls by Mattel lately - regarding lead paint as well as magnets that pose a hazard. Just like with the Magnetix, if a child were to swallow a couple of them, they are so powerful that they could possibly seal the windpipe and stuff like that. We kept our Magnetix because our kids are old enough, but definitely check out these latest recalls.
