As a mother of a two-year-old this recall has hit really close to home. Fisher-Price announced today that it is recalling over one million toys because of the threat of lead based paint.
The worldwide recall affects Nickelodeon and Sesame Street toys, Fisher-Price said in a recorded message on its recall line, including popular items such as the Big Bird, Elmo, Dora and Diego characters. The toys were made in China and sold in the U.S. between May and August, Fisher-Price said.

Parents should immediately take the toys away from their children. A task easier said than done if you have a daughter like mine that is neurotic about Dora. Apparently Mattel knew days ago about this but wanted to clear store shelves before alerting the public.
In children, very low levels of lead exposure can result in reduced IQ, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, behavioral problems, stunted growth, impaired hearing, and kidney damage. At high levels of exposure, a child may become mentally retarded, fall into a coma, and even die from lead poisoning.
