Mattel has recalled two million products sold in Ireland and the UK which were manufactured in ChinaBeijing (EON) - Mattel has recalled two million products sold in Ireland and the UK which were manufactured in China.

49,000 of the toys are toy cars made in China and may have levels of lead paint which go far above and beyond what is allowable and tolerable.

1.9 million Polly Pocket, Batman, and Barbie toys are also a part of the massive recall.

The recall in those products is due to the fact that the magnets may come loose and could cause a child to choke.

This comes just after Mattel announced a recall of 94,000 Fisher-Price toys from teh UK and Ireland. This was also due to the fact that they belived the toys may have too much lead in the paint.

Mattel stated that the levels of lead found in the Sarge toy cars made between May and July 2007 was an an “impermissible” level.

It is being urged that UK and Ireland customers should contact Mattel or go to the UK site at www.service.mattel.com/uk/.
