Dollar store robots recalled
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled Chinese-made toy robots due to their surface paints containing excessive levels of lead that violated the federal lead paint standard. The toys were sold in a four-pack, each carrying a gun in one hand and a shield in another. The packaging label says "Interchange Robots." They were sold at dollar stores at the end of last year for, well, about $1.Here are some tips for buying safer toys:
- Avoid metal jewelry, especially cheap metal jewelry for young children, due to potential high lead levels.
- Be careful of toys with magnets.
- Avoid no-name products. Be careful of toys from dollar stores, yard sales, street fairs and thrift stores.
- Skip the balloons due to choking and suffocation hazards.
