Lead Everywhere

Just to give you a sense of how recalls are going these days, I thought I’d note the introductory parts of today’s CPSC recall e-mail newsletter.  I’ve been getting this newsletter since I started editing the blog, and typically it has had one or two recalls.  Today, well, it’s more:

1.  KB Toys Recalls Wooden Toys Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard

2.  Kids II Recalls Baby Einstein Color Blocks Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard

3.  Eveready Battery Co. Recalls Toy Flashlights Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard

4.  Dollar General Recalls Tumblers Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard

5.  CKI Recalls Children’s Decorating Sets Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard; Sold Exclusively at Toys “R” Us

6.  Key Chains Recalled by Dollar General Due to Risk of Lead Exposure

7.  Antioch Publishing Recalls Bookmarks and Journals Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard [Ed. note: Bookmarks and journals have paint?]

8.  Sports Authority Recalls Aluminum Water Bottles Due to Violation of Lead Paint Standard
