Yes it has happened again, Mattel has announced another recall this time affecting the Barbie doll, GeoTrax, and the Big Big World Bongo Band collections. So please check your child’s toy box and make sure they aren’t playing with any of the affected toys.
Just last month Robert Eckert, chairman and chief executive of El Segundo, Calif.- based Mattel, warned at a press conference there there may be more recalls as the company continues their investigation. He was right as they announced another recall late Tuesday.
For more information about the recent recalls, consumers should call Mattel at 888-496-8330 or visit the company’s web site at http://www.service.mattel.com.
It’s really shocking how many lead recalls there are that you never even hear about. I found a site that tracks all of them and sends me emails whenever there are new ones.

It’s time for the US to get serious about inferior toys being imported. We need to protect our children.
