Didn't know about this, anyone else? M+D recall.

Poonico · December 2009

Evidently there was a large recall of Melisa and Doug toys in Canada.

Just in case, like me, someone hadn't heard of this :

I had no plans to buy M&D toys, but still.

Crap. This is exactly why I haven't bought DD any M&D toys (MIC). BUT, MIL bought her a set of their blocks So now, I have to tell her I want the receipt so that we can exchange them or something. Grr.

Yea, I don't buy them for that reason too.

Read the write up about it on Zrecs. I'm not too worried. Apparently it's all a matter of how the stuff is tested.

GRRRRRRR! That shape sorter is DS's favorite toy! He chews on those cubes all the time!!! And there is absolutely no labelling on the item to be able to look it up! My mom specifically got this because it was on some safe list of toys last christmas.

And I had recommended this toy for half a dozen friends too...

Thank you!!!!! I had the pounding toy on DS's Christmas list along with a tool set. Needless to say I have replaced those with safer alternatives.

I'm still anxious to see the test results, as well as hear more on the methods used. It's one thing for DB to state the flaw is in the testing ... but that really means nothing if he won't say why.

I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more recalls as the new reg's kick in. And I don't think they'll be limited to only MIC items. I have a feeling the whole toy world is going to get a shake down.

We have a couple M & D toys... crap

SapphyrEyes · December 2009

Crap. Now I have to make sure we to get receipts for these if we get them for Christmas since I'm sure DS will wind up with that pound a peg one.

Is anyone else sick of the crap coming from China? I'm so fed up at this point.

we have the cookie set...and mj puts it in her mouth. guess i'll be ordering some felt cookies from etsy.

I'm glad they recalled it. If it's crap and it has any chance of getting out kids sick I want it off the market. It makes me sick to my stomach that people are willing to cut corners to save a few bucks...when it's our kids who pay the price.

It's all about money, money, money.

Sad.

My mom used to buy DS some and we have that pound a peg toy... I've told her now not to buy any more and thankfully shes been paying attention to it. I'll have to get rid of that peg toy, though. Stinks, though, since he likes it so much and we don't have anything else like it.
