Default "Thomas and Friends" railway toys recalled (x-posted)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than 1 million of the popular "Thomas & Friends"
wooden railway toys made in China are being voluntarily recalled because
some may contain lead paint, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
said on Wednesday.

About 1.5 million wooden vehicles, buildings and other train-set parts for
young children are being recalled, the CPSC said in a statement. The toys
were sold in the United States from January 2005 through June 2007, the
statement said.
Lead is toxic and can pose a serious health risk to young children who often
put objects in their mouths. Children under 6 are most at risk.

The CPSC and RC2 Corp., the Oak Brook, Illinois-based company that imports
"Thomas & Friends" toys, said there had been no reports of illness or
injuries linked to the recall.

The recall of toys made in China follows a series of health scandals in the
United States involving food, drugs and other products imported from China,
from poisoned cough syrup to tainted toothpaste and pet food.

"Consumers should take the recalled toys away from young children
immediately and contact RC2 Corp. for a replacement toy," the CPSC said.
