The following is a list of seven (7) recalls that I was notified about on Thursday.

1. Children’s Metal Jewelry Recalled By WeGlow International Due to
Risk of Lead Exposure

2. Dollar Tree Stores Inc. Recalls Children’s Jewelry Due to Risk of
Lead Exposure

3. Serious Head Injuries Prompt Recall of Bumbo Baby Sitter Seats - New
Warnings and Instructions to Be Provided To Consumers

4. Fisher Price Recalls Go Diego Go Boat Toys Due to Violation of Lead
Paint Standard

5. Jo-Ann Stores Expands Recall of Children’s Toy Garden Tools Due to
Violation of Lead in Paint Standard

6. DecoPac Inc. Recalls Football Bobble Head Cake Decorations Due to
Violation of Lead Paint Standard

7. Family Dollar Stores Recalls Halloween Pails Due to Violation of
Lead Paint Standard

Notice that six of the seven were due to lead in paint! I am actually quite surprised (perhaps shocked) that these types of recalls did not happen sooner. For how many years have we been buying toys made in places where safety standards were not in place, or not being followed?
