Product: Toys "R" Us Elite Operations Toy Sets
Manufacturer: Toys "R" Us Inc., of Wayne, N.J.
Recall: March 13, 2007. Toys "R" Us is recalling approximately 128,7000 "Elite Operations" toy sets because the paint used contains high levels of lead, which can be toxic if ingested, and some of the toys have sharp points, which pose a laceration hazard. Only the following three styles of the military sets are being recalled: Super Rigs Transport Special (item #087286), Command Patrol Center (item # 920625) and Troop Carrier (item # 773967). All other styles are not affected by the recall. No incidents or injuries have been reported. The sets were sold in Toys "R" Us stores nationwide and on their website between January 2006 and February 2007 (ARV $15-$30). Sets sold before January 2006 are not affected.
What to do: Take the toy set away from your child and return it to your nearest Toys "R" Us for store credit.
