More Toys Are Recalled, Trail Ends in
China
By ERIC S. LIPTON and DAVID

WASHINGTON, June 18 China manufactured every one of the 24 kinds
of toys recalled for safety reasons in the United States so far
this year, including the enormously popular Thomas & Friends
wooden train sets, a record that is causing alarm among consumer
advocates, parents and regulators.
The latest recall, announced last week, involves 1.5 million Thomas
& Friends trains and rail components about 4 percent of all
those sold in the United States over the last two years by RC2
Corporation of Oak Brook, Ill. The toys
were coated at a factory in China with lead paint, which can damage
brain cells, especially in children.
Just in the last month, a ghoulish fake eyeball toy made in China
was recalled after it was found to be filled with kerosene. Sets of
toy drums and a toy bear were also recalled because of lead paint,
and an infant wrist rattle was recalled because of a choking
hazard.

poisoning, problem solved.
