How Can I Limit My Child's Exposure to Lead in Toys?
The Consumer Federation of America www.consumerfederation.org
recommends the following steps:
1. Identify whether you have a product in your home that has been
recalled. Go to www.cpsc.gov to determine whether the products in
your home are subject to the recall.
2. If you do have a recalled toy in your home:
Take it out of your children's hands immediately.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the recall; do not just
throw out the product.
If the recalled toy contains lead, wipe down other toys that were
near the recalled toy to catch lead dust.
3. Beware of young children's tendencies to put small toys
in their mouths.
4. Beware of choking hazards, including small magnets. To determine
if there are toys or parts of toys that may pose a choking hazard to a
young child, use the inside of a toilet paper tube. If a toy or piece of a
toy easily fits through, do not let children under three play with or have
access to these toys.
