Fisher-Price Recalls 38,000 'Go Diego' Boat Toys
This is 4th Major Mattel Recall This Year
WASHINGTON (CBS) ―
The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Fisher Price announced the recall of another set of Mattel products because of lead paint problems. This time it's recalling about 38,000 Fisher Price 'Go Diego Go Animal Rescue Boats.'
The toy is an orange and yellow boat that squirts water and cartoon character Diego is in the driver's seat. The Fisher Price product number is K3413, and a date code between 137-7HF and 223-7HF are marked on the toys.
The toys were sold at retail stores nationwide from June 2007 through October 2007 for about $15.
The toys were made in China.
The CPSC advises parents or caregivers to immediately take the recalled toys away from children and contact Fisher-Price in order to receive a free replacement toy.
Contact Fisher-Price at (888) 299-0579 anytime, or visit the firm's Web site at www.service.mattel.com.
This is the toy giant's fourth major recall this year. Mattel ordered three high-profile recalls this summer involving more than 21 million Chinese-made toys, including Barbie doll accessories and toy cars because of concerns about lead paint and tiny magnets that could be swallowed.
