Lead-Tainted Toy Recalls Down Sharply

The AP (11/12) reports, "The lead-tainted toy scare that hammered the industry and frightened parents last holiday season has eased, but there are still concerns that problem toys may still be out there." Thus far this year, "recalls of toys or children's products because of lead paint or lead content are down sharply." They fell from "a record 112 in 2007 to 64 this year." According to Consumer Product Safety Commission data, "most of this year's recalls were not from the big toy makers, but from smaller companies, and most of the products were made in China. The rest came from Vietnam, India, Peru, Taiwan and Korea." Earlier this year, Congress "passed new rules aimed at ensuring nearly lead-free toys and children's products." Those rules impose a "federal limit on the lead content within toys. The new limit will be phased in, beginning with a 600 ppm limit in February. That would drop to 300 ppm in August and then to 100 ppm, if the commission determines that's feasible."
