Curious George Plush Dolls Recalled

November 8, 2007     Spanish
About 175,000 Curious George plush dolls are being recalled by Marvel Toys. Surface paint on the toy’s plastic face and construction hat contain excessive levels of lead, which violates the federal lead paint standard.

This recall involves Curious George 12-inch plush dolls with a plastic face. The dolls are dressed to represent five various themes: birthday, fireman, sweet dreams, tool time and tool time with a soft face.

The plush dolls were sold with a Curious George storybook or activity book. The following product and SKU numbers are printed on the packaging.

The dolls were sold at toy and discount department stores nationwide from December 2005 through August 2007 for about $15. They were made in China.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children and contact Marvel Toys to receive a full refund.
