| more recalls Target Recalls 82,000 Rattles Due to Choking Hazard Bloomberg News Oct. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Target Corp., the second-largest U.S. discount-store chain, recalled 82,000 Chinese-made Plush Boys Rattles because they can break, releasing small beads that may choke young children. No injuries have been reported with the recall, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said today on its Web site. Separately, QVC Inc. is calling back Cook’s Essential Electric Toasters made in China because some turn on spontaneously. One of them caused fire damage to a kitchen cabinet, while two others burned. There were no reports of injuries, the agency said. This one actually happened this past Wed., but ut was a 2nd one for the company: More Thomas & Friends toys recalled for lead RC2 Corp., maker of the wooden railway toys, recalls additional 269,000 units due to high lead content in paint. By Parija B. Kavilanz, CNNMoney.com senior writer September 26 2007 NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Toymaker RC2 Corp. on Wednesday announced another recall of 269,000 of its Thomas & Friends wooden railway toys because the surface paint on the products contains high levels of lead. This is the second recall from RC2 (Charts) this year for the same brand of toys. The company recalled 1.5 million other Thomas & Friends railway toys in June due to excessive lead content found in the paint used on the toys. The latest recall from RC2 involves five toys from the Thomas & Friends wooden railway product line: the all-black cargo car, toad vehicle, olive green sodor cargo box and all-green maple tree top, as well as signal base accessories. Two hundred thousand of these were sold in the U.S., with the remainder sold outside the U.S. The front of the packaging has the logo "Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway" in the upper left-hand corner. A tracking code may be located on the bottom of some of the products. Toys marked with codes containing "WJ" and "AZ" are not included in the recall.
