Get the lead out

The most recent list of recalls centers on the magnet worries and includes an expansion of a recall first announced in November. The 7.3 million Polly Pocket play sets have small magnets inside the dolls and accessories that can come loose.

The recalls also include a die-cast toy car based on “Sarge” from the movie “Cars,” because the surface paint could contain lead levels in excess of federal standards. The 2-1/2-by-1-inch car looks like a military jeep.

Also recalled were 345,000 Batman and “One Piece” action figures, 683,000 Barbie and Tanner play sets and 1 million Doggie Day Care play sets.
