Filed under: Health and Safety, RecallsIt seems that you can't even trust Santa to make lead-free toys these days. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Santa's Toy Corporation have announced the recall of about 9,000 Western Rider Push Toys due to excessive levels of lead in the paint on the toy.The recalled toy is made of plastic and features a horse and rider with a 20-inch long detachable handle. The cowboy rider is dressed in red pants and a green shirt and has disproportionately large white hands.. His faithful horse was made in various colors, including a lovely shade of purple.The push toys were made in China and sold at retail dollar and discount stores nationwide from February 2005 through February 2008 for between $2.50 and $3 each.If you have one, you should immediately take it away from your child and return it to the store where purchased for a full refund. For more information, contact Santa's Toy Corporation at (888) 726-8208 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or email them at info@santastoycorp.com.Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
