A major US toy maker is recalling 1.5 million Chinese-made toys because of high levels of lead in the paint.
The recalled toys made for Mattel’s Fisher-Price range include popular pre-school characters like Elmo and Big Bird along with dozens of other items.
The recall comes amid heightened concern worldwide about the safety of China’s exports. Mattel said it had isolated two-thirds of the affected toys before they reached the shelves. In the United States, the Fisher-Price toys were sold nationwide between May and August.

Customers who are worried are advised to go to Mattel’s website for more recall information.
If Mattel is not happy with the quality of the products made, they can just go elsewhere.
If they want to bargain for cheaper price, then any manufacturer will “cheat” you on quality.
