There are currently a couple of recalls out concerning the popular Thomas and Friends wooden toys. One article indicates that the cause is lead paint used in the the toys, while another article points out the possibility of small pegs or other small pieces being dislodged from the toys. Either way, it’s probably a good idea to check your toy boxes to make sure that you’re clear of these toys!
Update: Here is more specific information from the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on the toys involved in the recall. Thanks to my SIL.

We will happily accept your toys, return them (if you so wish), and inform you of the results of the testing.

It is disturbing the know that that these multi-million dollor companies do not check these toys better before being sold and played with by children. I feel that all any company cares about is money. I hope that no children get sick from this and how would we know anyways. It would take years to discover if the symptoms were from lead based paint. I was in the Navy I know very well what happens to people who inhale or digest lead based paint. Disgraceful that is all I have to say. The company should be ashamed of themselves…..
