Curious George Plush Toy - Recalled For Lead Poisoning Hazard

Curious George! Damn, now even one of my favorite kids characters is contaminated with lead paint! Marvel Toys issued a quiet recall on Curious George plush toys because of unsafe levels of lead paint on the hat and other details of the dolls. The mischievous monkey has long been a children’s favorite and a perennial toy favorite as well.

This recall, issued on the 9th of this month adds another unsafe Chinese toy to the extensive list of unsafe and poisoned toys from Asia. I have to wonder when toy brands will finally look at their bottom line and stop making toys in countries where there is no enforcement of safety regulations? Oh yes, they won’t until people stop buying their products. See the connection here?
