Thomas and Friends recall: Lead Paint
If you have kids, or friends/relatives with kids, and they play with Thomas the Tank Engine trains, please read and forward this information:
1.5 million 'Thomas & Friends' toys recalled (MSNBC)
The RC2 website has specific information, including a poster with pictures of the recalled toys, in case you can't remember everyone's names. Looks like items with red paint in particular are involved.
First dog food, then toothpaste, now toys. What's next, sneakers?


Apparently, hamburgers are next...

Wouldn't this make a great movie if it were a massive Green Party conspiracy as a run up to the 2008 election...putting consumer safety issues at the forefront of the U.S. psyche and who's there to save us? Ralph Nader! But then it all gets unraveled at the end by some totally mundane yet overlooked factor, like the price of cheddar cheese.
