A lawsuit was just filed by a Florida parent againt Mattel aftre the company recalled 1.5 million toys with possible lead paint hazards. The parent is seeking a refund for toys and money for diagnostic tests for lead poisoning.
Fisher-Price recalled the preschool toys on August 1 because their surface paint could contain excessive amounts of lead. The toys, such as Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street characters, were made in China.

My firm represents lead poisoned children in cases throughout Michigan, Ohio, and several other states. We have received several call regarding the toy recalls and are investigation possible poisonings related to those toys. I am not aware of any cases to date that have placed the source of a child's poisoning to a toy alone.
