Just when you think the madness might end . . .
Schylling Associates has announced a recall of about 66,000 spinning tops and 4,700 tin pails in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Surface paints on the wooden handles of the tops and pails contain excessive levels of lead, which violates the federal lead […]
I am all for recycling and saving money but this whole story about China selling dirty chop sticks is going too far! How disgusting?!?!?!?! Evidently, the guy sold about half a million dirty, unsanitized chopsticks. He made quite a bit of money but how does this happen in today’s society? Aren’t there regualtions? I find […]
I finally found the time to get the Mattel recall information from today. They are recalling 436,000 die-cast cars that contain lead and toys that contain magnets. This is mainly the Polly Pocket dolls and Batman action figures. Here is a list of the new recalls. Turns out the magnets an not only choke your […]
Mattel has recalled hundreds of thousand sof toys for high levels of lead. All the toys originated from China. Most of them were Dora, Diego, and Elmo toys. I just heard on the news that they will announce another recall in the next hour. I would give a list but thereis over 80+ toys on […]

An earlier recall notice […]
It seems that here recently there have been many recalls for toys, clothes, etc… due to high lead levels. Thomas the Train has fallen victim this week. Turns out, I heard on the radio from one of the major talk show hosts that we will be seeing a lot more. China doesn’t have as strict […]
Some of us who read Thrifty Mommy still use car seats. I know I will be in the need of an infant car seat soon enough. So I just wanted to let you know that Evenflo has recalled some of their Embrace models for a faulty handle. The handle can release unexpectedly and throw the infant forward […]
I heard on the news last week that Wal-mart was recalling their Baby Connection bibs due to the amount of lead found in the canal backings. The recall is specific to the state of Illinois. This simply means that the state of Illinois says that the bibs contain more than the acceptable limit […]
Now I am not one for blasting anyone who can get a great deal. But I AM here to tell you that more expensive doesn’t always equal better quality. LL Bean has recalled their infant booties due to a choking hazard. The metal tabs on the Faux-Shearling Infant Booties that LL Bean […]
