It's War With China

This is the last straw! Curious George? How can you send us poisonous Curious George dolls?
About 175,000 Curious George Plush Dolls were recalled Thursday, becoming the latest popular toy made in China found to be contaminated with dangerous levels of lead.

Manufactured by Marvel Toys, of New York, N.Y., the Curious George dolls contain excessive levels of lead in their surface paint, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Although no reports of illnesses connected to this product have been reported, lead is toxic if ingested by young children. Children's products found to have more than 0.06 percent lead accessible to users are subject to a recall.

Can we get serious here? These toy companies are willing to risk the damage and death of American children in order to make a bigger buck? I have to draw the line at Curious George! It's time to invade!
