Now, I know a lot of you have Polly Pocket toys. Stop eating them. You might ingest a cuople magnets. They'll attract and cause intestine blockage. So stop.

Re: Mattel Recall
And apparently the owner of the company responsible for the lead killed himself.

? Killed himself accidentally with lead poisoning or suicide?
Mattel has been in trouble the last few years, ownership has changed and although they have a few big properties they're having a hard time competing.

Re: Mattel Recall
Yes. The guy responsible for the pet food recall was executed, if Im not mistaken.
This is a real shame, and should be a wakeup call to safety and trade organizations.

Mattel is still the #1 toy company with Hasbro #2.

Re: Mattel Recall
I'm kinda worried about Hasbro/Takara products...I keep my TFs in my room, and it's a small room with a small window...poor ventilation...
Maybe I'm worrying too much.

Re: Mattel Recall
I'm not trying to down play this problem but all the toys my parents played with had lead paint and they are going strong at almost seventy. Many antique toys made with metal use lead paint as well.Use caution for sure but I think the biggest concern here is that small children are going to lick the paint off and eat it. I wouldn't be to worried about Transformers that are basiclly for display. These companies should be responsible for providing safe toys, and to this point I don't think a single child has been harmed. This is a voluntary recall by Mattel which is the right thing to do, but to my knowledge no one is sick and no one is hurt(except maybe this dude that offed himself). I think a mountain is being made out of a mole hill.
