Evenflo recalls the Discovery infant car seat

kellys — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 19:02:37 +0000

Evenflo has recalled the Discovery infant car seat for the propensity of disconnecting from the base during a high impact car crash. If you have one, please contact Evenflo for a “supplemental dual-hook fastener” for your seat. Please take care to get a new hook if you have one of these car seats. With so many recalls these days, you really need to register your products with the company so that you will be notified when/if your children’s items have an issue.

Just when you think the madness might end . . .

Schylling Associates has announced a recall of about 66,000 spinning tops and 4,700 tin pails in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Surface paints on the wooden handles of the tops and pails contain excessive levels of lead, which violates the federal lead paint standard.

The recalled tops and pails are primarily metal and have wooden handles. The tops are painted with Thomas and Friends, Curious George, or a circus scene. The pails are painted with Thomas and Friends, Curious George, or a solid red or yellow color. Tops with plastic handles are not included in this recall.

The toys were sold at specialty toy stores and gift shops nationwide from July 2001 through July 2002. The tops were sold for about $13, and the pails for about $6. They were made in China.

For additional information, contact Schylling toll-free at (800) 767-8697 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s website. You can also visit the CPSC website.

I have to say that this recall concerns me because these toys were made many years ago and they’re just now catching this. At least the recent recalls of toys are ones that are current.
