Last week I had to toss a few cans of green beans because of potential botulism contamination. Today, I found out about the Mattel/Fisher Price recall because of lead paint. Imagine my horror when I saw this on the recall list:
This happens to be Alex's favorite bath toy. So favorite in fact that both Elmo and Cookie monster are missing their eyes and most of their clothes because Alex CHEWED OFF THE PAINT!
After taking a moment to overreact, and briefly consider gouging the eyes out of a Mattel voodoo doll, I calmed down enough to look further into the situation and breathe a sigh of relief that the recall affects only toys purchased AFTER May 2007. Alex has had his Tub Sub longer than that.
I'm tossing it anyway.
I was also sad to see several Go Diego Go toys on the list. A couple of those I'd planned to get for Alex's birthday next month.
