Fisher Price Toy Recall

[Mike Taylor]

For anybody out there who has purchased certain Nickelodeon or Sesame Street branded toys, FP has put out a recall on ones sold after March 1, 2007. The paint on these toys contains lead.

Here is the link to the product recall list (http://service.mattel.com/us/recall/39054_IVR.asp?prod).

Leffy, you might want to check some of Harli's toys to be sure they aren't on the list.

[Wayne]

There is a large list of popular toys that go with this recall. My folks and sister had to go through and get rid of some of my nephew's stuff.

[Sehson]

Eh whats a little lead poisoning:sick:

Eh whats a little lead poisoning:sick:

To be perfectly honest, it's something I don't want anybody on this board to have to deal with. :(

[Sehson]

That was a bit of a sacastic joke:p Seeing as half of the members are old enough to remember when Leaded paint first came out as causing all sorts of issues.

Seeing as lead is supposed to not be used any longer in paints and any items made for children

[Leffy]

i had already peeked through that list a week ago, but thanks for the heads up. ya know i've spammed that thing everywhere else but it didn't occur to me to spam you guys. sorry :(

They updated the list on the third, so I posted the link.

[Leffy]

ah. still no toys of harli's.

[Mike Taylor]

That's a good sign.

[Farler]

Did you actually name your daughter Harli? Just, be careful of her dating pale boys with green hair. Oh, and don't let her be best friends with a red head.



You could get her a pet hyena though, that would be so cool.

What? The Victorians?

[Sehson]

I don't know about over in the UK... but there was a big push in the 70's here in the states about the dangers of lead based paint. And they started lobbying to have it removed from homes and all that.

[Ecchi_Kitty]

I miss my lead-based wall-candy.... :d(:

The new stuff just doesn't have the same flavor...

[Rapscallion]

Victorian paint used to contain lead. They were also quite used to using mercury and other dangerous crap.

george carlin did have a few valid points on our kids today... they're alot safer, and thus more spoiled, then we were.

[Sehson]

spoiled????????????

Most these little fucking brats are rotten to the fuggin core because they are overfucking protected... Anti-bacterial this and that, fucking rubberized squishy playgrouds, with padded monkey bars, bike helmets, body armour and shit...

I'm starting to think with all this over protectiveness that intelligence is actually a form of brain damage. When I was a kid, I moved around alot combo military brat and gypsie, parents being divorced to. the playgrounds were cement or asphalt, if you were lucky you got rock hard dirt, and really really luck you got cedar chips. You'd fall off the monkey bars, get up brush the dirt off and go back to playing, Well as long as you didn't break anything or were spurting blood, little scapes and oozes where no big deal it was part of child hood.

Now these little fucks so much as mussup their hair and their screaming bloody murder... not really because their really hurt but because of the attention.

And people wonder why I hate people....

Grrr..arghhh... Hey you fucking punk get off mah lawn...:soap:

[Ruestir]

*hands Sehson his cain and oxygen* breathe...breathe

I need to introduce you to Anthony sometime. He's as rough and tumble a little boy (well, not so little... they tend to grow BIG nowadays) as there ever was. He ain't perfect, but he's no spoiled baby.

[Farler]

*sniffle* we lost our monkey bars when I was in grade 6 cause some girl fell off and landed on her head. Damn that witch! They didn't even have the decency to remove the sand pit so we had to look at that scar in the playground and remember the idiot who thought she could swing upside down from the monkey bars.

[UberFische]

I remember playing with metal toys dump-trucks and bucket-loaders and such, and had a cast-iron pedal tractor. Now I see what my nieces and nephews have... all plastic, almost all have broken at one point or another, leaving a sharp edge or point that could cause (and in one case did cause) a decent injury. My metal toys never broke... except when they got run over, in which case they just squished. Sure there was a chance of Tetanus, but that's why we get those shots.

[Leffy]

granted i'm fidgety about what parts of the playground harli plays with, but if it doesn't look deadly or may carry the plague she plays on it. my only complaint about bogan park is that the one patch of rustiness right at the slide, was originally covered with the pseudo rubber and the rubber has peeled away with a layer of paint and wore down into a nice thin shaver. i've nicked my arm on it a couple times just guiding her. and then the cat box. erm i mean the sand box.

[kitty!]

Y'see, I think my intellegence was created from the mass amounts of Kool Aid, Cap'n Crunch along side with hiding bruises from doing things I wasn't allowed to do led to my intellegence.

Red Dye #4 and Preservatives are the source of all my powers. Deceit just hones them ^^

I had too many barbies too. Every damn birthday, three different barbies and friggin accesories. The only one I really wanted was Birthday Barbie, and I got that on my 12th birthday. The previous hundreds of barbies were unwanted and thus subjected to cruel torture.

I wanted friggin K'Nex kits, building blocks and magnets. And a miniature kitchen.

I think I spent most of my time watching tv as a kid because I had too many barbies and not enough magnets. Magnets can entertain me for HOURS. and anything involving electricity. I could have been a mad scientist if I had enough magnets and 'make your own doorbell' kits. Man those things were fun.

[Leffy]

i think thats WHY you didn't get those kits :P you woulda had your parents wired up as your bioelectric power source for your wicked machinations by 14.

i didn't mind getting barbies. they were something to do and gave me many mini models for my attempts at knitting and crocheting outfits. the only thing i detested was that i only ever owned one ken doll.

he was adventurous. went sky diving, skateboarding and rocket launching. he was a quadriplegic within two weeks. then he lost his head. so i had a great many barbie's that became bobbies. we came up with many reasons why bobby had boobies too. my mother still rants about the one we claimed had to get testicular removal because of cancer.

Hey kitty!, I just got a bunch of rare earth super-magnets from Lee Valley... they are FUN and CHEAP(ish). I need to find a better fountain to go coin-fishing in, though....

Any bets on how long it takes before I accidentally wipe out my credit cards and/or hard drive?

[Leffy]

i'm betting you already have at some point

[Big Otis Landfish]

Not yet... but I have already had a few "what are these doing in my pocket?" moments, and a hastily-reconsidered thought of "hey, if I stuck this in my wallet it'd keep my change from falling out" :eek:.

[Leffy]

i'd be afraid of them flipping around and connecting with some... looser skin behind the cloth in the way

[Big Otis Landfish]

Luckily, they are powerful enough that they are usually stuck well together.

The literature with them warns of pinch-hazard though, and it's come close on the fingers a few times (they will bond right through one's hand).

[Ruestir]

My son has a pair of those. I can put one on my palm and the other on the back of my hand and they'll stay. That's over an inch thick of tissue mind you. Pretty cool.

[Leffy]

i'd still be afeared if they were in my pockets

[Ruestir]

I definitely wouldn't put them in opposite pockets. They'd just try to meet up in the middle! :eek:

[Leffy]

squish!

[UberFische]

squish!

I believe it'd be "Squish!" followed soon after by "Ouch!" or "Oh god why- ow- sonofa-"

[Leffy]

i don't think words could even be attempted with the type of magnets they are. that creepy mix between wail and squeal that guys have would probably be more likely.

[RazorJAK]

Probably the same sound the guy in the UK made when his psycho ex literally ripped his left testicle off a few months back.

Holy shit I still shudder mightily when I think about that.

[Leffy]

she part of the lorena bobbit fan club?

[Ruestir]

She makes Lorena Bobbit look like freaking Mother Theresa!

[Farler]

I turned my cousin into a tomboy, she got playmobil pirates. Those were fucking awesome, she did get a few barbies but they were not played with as often and when she got the k'nex well we just had way too much fun. She's 18 and Im 20 now and everytime we're at her house there's the urge to break em out and build robots or a tower. The best one was a good 12 feet high or more, she had a very tall staircase into the basement and well we used it to the fullest in constructing the tower.

[RazorJAK]

Lorena Bobbit just cut the dipshit's talliwacker off.

This woman ripped off her ex's testicle ... and then tried to swallow it!
She choked a bit then spit it out.

All because he didn't want to get back together with her.

[Compton]

Can't say I blame the guy for that sentiment.

[Leffy]

i've been plenty pissed at exes and stuff but uh........ nope never thought of bare handed testicle retrieval.

now the thought has occured to try using a spoon...

you can still get the metal ones...

They just cost ALOT and are specialty order items.

A quick look around antique shops in the Deep South will turn up quite a few for reasonable prices. I found an old tin toy train from my childhood (made from recycled Planters Peanuts tins) at such a place for $20.

[Sehson]

I'm talking brandy new ones... yea in yard sales and antique shops you can find them for reasonable

[Seolta]

All because he didn't want to get back together with her.

And this was meant to...encourage him to reconsider?:confused:

[Crazeyal]

No it was to punish him for daring to disagree.
