As you may have now heard, there is a massive recall of children’s toys happening in Canada. The culprit is unsafe levels of lead used in the paint by Chinese manufacturers who created the toys. Popular kids characters Elmo and Dora are 2 lines affected by the recall.
The National Post has printed a complete list of all toys recalled in Canada.
Mattel has also added a recalled toy finder to their website, although it is the US corporate site. Not sure if all the model numbers match up for Canada.
First Thomas, then Veggie Booty. Now Dora and Elmo. 2007 is the summer of kids recalls.

Maybe Fisher-Price and other North American based companies should just stop manufacturing items for our children in such an untrustworthy country. I think that huge tariffs should be imposed on all goods coming from countries like China and if it closes a Wal-Mart or two, so be it. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some jobs come back to Canada?
I agree about manufacturing in China. There are so many reasons not to do it, political, environmental, health…and only one reason to: lower prices.
