“Go Diego Go Animal Rescue Boat” by Fisher-Price, Inc.

Age Recommendation: 2+

Warning on box: None

Hazard: Potential for lead ingestion injuries

W.A.T.C.H. Warning: “ These brightly-colored orange and yellow boats were sold at retail stores nationwide from June 2007 through October 2007. Tens of thousands of these toys, identical in appearance to the one pictured, were recalled on October 25, 2007. According to the recall notice, it was discovered that the “[s]urface paints on the toys contain excessive levels of lead, which violates the federal standard prohibiting lead paint on children’s toys.” Millions of recalled toys still may be in homes and schools across the country. There is simply no excuse for the sale of toys containing known poisons such as lead. Research has shown that exposure to this neuro-toxin can have serious long-term effects, particularly for children.”
