Problem getting rid of recalled toys

Parents are scrambling to figure out what to do with millions of recalled toys that are either tainted with lead or otherwise hazardous to children.

Mattel recalled about 19 million toys worldwide and said it is working on a responsible approach but could not provide details.

Many parents are confused about how to dispose of the toys. All a parent knows at this point is that they need to get them out of their kids' toy chests.

Some parents may find returning a toy and waiting for a voucher a cumbersome process and will opt instead to simply throw out the dangerous toys.

My suggestion is to go to the manufacturer's webiste and see what their recommendations are at thisi point.

For Mattel and Fisher Price toys go to this website....
