This is alarming! They dont even know the impact of this to parents! Im so scared to even buy toys now – even toys made in the US. You will never be sure and confident on what is safe anymore. Im not a majoy toy buyer – we make do what the kids can creatively play with, but during Christmas, I splurge a lot for them. It makes me think if I can actually buy safe toys anymore!

TUESDAY, Aug. 21 (BabyCenter News) — Hampton Direct has announced a recall of about 27,000 toy train sets in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

The paint on the trains contains excessive amounts of lead, posing a risk of lead exposure to young children.

This recall involves magnetic alphabet and number train sets. The sets include a wooden engine, caboose, letters, and numbers. They come in a rainbow of colors and have either a letter or number attached to the top of a base that has four wooden wheels. The alphabet train set contains 28 pieces, and the number train set contains 12 pieces. Each car is 2.5 x 2.5 x 2 inches in size.

The train sets were sold by Johnson Smith Company, by The Paragon Gifts Inc., and in Starcrest Products of California catalogs nationwide from December 2005 through July 2007 for about $30. They were made in China.
