The Parenting Buzz : Another Mattel Toy Recall

Did you walk away unscathed from last week’s Mattel recall?

Hopefully your luck holds up during Mattel’s most recent recall of 9 million toys.

After last week’s recall of over 1 million Sesame Street, Dora the Explorer and Go, Diego, Go! toys, Mattel decided to test all of its products. The result: Mattel announced this morning that it has voluntarily recalled 9 million toys from its Barbie, Batman, Polly Pockets, Doggy Day Care and Cars line, all of which were manufactured in China.

The recalled items have been deemed dangerous for various reasons, including the presence of lead paint and loose magnets, both of which are hazardous to young children.
