Toys "R" Us taking plastic food of shelves

Lead, arsenic, mercury and chromium were discovered in a plastic ice-cream cone which comes in a children's play set called, "Just Like Home." The chemicals were discovered by an ecology center in Michigan. Kids put nearly everything in their mouths and if it LOOKS like food, it's very likely to frequent their lips.

Though the toys have supposedly been taken of the shelves, I was able to find the set for sale online complete with the offending ice cream cones. it could be that the company's independent testing has found no dangerous chemicals but since the matter was just brought to their attention on Wednesday, I have my doubts.
