175000 Curious George Plush Dolls Recalled

Marvel Toys have issued a voluntary recall of Curious George Plush Dolls due to a risk of exposure to lead.

175000 dolls made by Marvel Toys, of New York, N.Y have been recalled. Surface paint on the toy’s plastic face and construction hat contain excessive levels of lead, which violates the federal lead paint standard.

The recall involves Curious George 12-inch plush dolls with a plastic face. The dolls are dressed to represent five various themes: birthday, fireman, sweet dreams, tool time and tool time with a soft face. The plush dolls were sold with a Curious George storybook or activity book. The following product and SKU numbers are printed on the packaging.

Birthday 90253/ 8-83199-90253-5

Fireman 90246/ 8-83199-90246-7

Tool Time 90251/ 8-83199-90251-1

Tool Time (soft face) 90251/ 8-83199-90251-1

The toys were sold at toy and discount department stores nationwide from December 2005 through August 2007 for about $15. There have been no reports of injuries but consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children and contact Marvel Toys to receive a full refund.
