Get the lead out - WalMart this time

You would think that with all of the publicity, China would do something about the lead paint on kids toys. From Yahoo/AP:

Wal-Mart recalls toy animals for lead
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is recalling toy animals made in China because of excessive lead levels discovered since it stepped up safety testing in August, the Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer said Friday.

In a news release, the nation's largest retailer and largest toy seller described the recalled items as sets of realistic-looking farm animals, jungle animals and dinosaurs.

The toys are sold in loose sets in cellophane-type bags without a brand name. Wal-Mart said independent testing revealed excessive levels of lead in the material the toys are made of.

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Linda Blakley declined to name the manufacturer and did not know how many sets were sold or exactly how long they've been stocked. "We've had these for a while," she said.
