The St. Louis Dispatch reports that Target has pulled this Valentines Day bear after the California Attorney General and the Center for Environmental Health raised concerns about the quantity of lead in the toy.

The group tested the neon pink stuffed bear and found that it contained eight times more lead than the federal limit for products intended for children 12 and under. (The toy warns not for children 3 and under)

Target claims the product was compliant upon arrival.

I keep thinking lead is something we parents no longer have to worry that much about after Congress banned lead in children’s toys in July of 2009. But products continue to crop up with unsafe levels of lead and I personally find it’s impossible to stay in the loop on all the recalls.

Fortunately, there is a useful website that categorizes every toy hazard recall, including lead paint, from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. When I checked the list today, one of the first toys I saw was one we got as a gift in Vietnam—a balancing dragonfly—recalled in October. It’s not clear that voluntary recalls, like the one Target took today, would make the list. However, it’s still a much easier way to check toy safety than my current strategy of hoping I hear about anything bad and then being indignant when I don’t and as a result, my son has been playing with a lead butterfly for months. To quote someone I like very much, “Hope is not a strategy.” At least for keeping the lead out.
