Recall of Mattel's Fisher-Price toys with lead

On Thursday, Mattel's Fisher-Price brand announced it is recalling 83 types of toys — including the popular Big Bird, Elmo, Dora and Diego characters — because their paint contains excessive amounts of lead. The recall involves 967,000 plastic preschool toys made by a Chinese vendor and sold in the United States between May and August.
Under current U.S. regulations, children's products found to have more than 0.06 percent lead are subject to a recall.
For parents, replacing the tainted toys with ones they trust are safe could pose a problem: 80 percent of all toys are made in China.
