Wooden Block Recall
August 30, 2008 7:25 am RecallsWooden blocks have always been one of my favourite toys. I even have a spare set in case a grandchild comes for a visit.
Unfortunately, one type of wooden block is being recalled, and not for the obvious reason of having too much lead in the paint on the surface. This one had too much barium in the paint.
