Some fresh recalls to report: The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall of Fisher Price Go Diego Boats because surface paint on the boats contain excessive levels of lead.

Halloween pails sold at Family Dollar Stores are also recalled, as the green paint contains excessive levels of lead.

Garden tools sold at Jo-Ann stores are being recalled because of lead paint on the handles.

Bobble head cake decorations representing various football teams, sold in bakeries and ice cream stores nationwide, have excessive levels of lead in the paint on the bodies.

Kids’ metal jewelry pieces sold at Dollar Tree, Dollar Bill$, Dollar Express, Greenbacks and Only $1 nationwide are also being recalled for lead.

Children’s jewelry sold at Dollar Tree stores also contain toxic levels of lead. (Sample picture below, see the recall page for more samples of toxic jewelry.)

If you have any of these items, check the corresponding recall page for information on returns, refunds, etc.

If you have not yet signed our Toy Safety Petition, now is the time! Until we agree to use our collective buying power to stop the import of toxic toys, nothing much is likely to change.

And stay tuned to MomSquawk. We have a challenge (for you!) in the works.
