Yikes! Thomas the Tank Engine Recall

Many of you may know that my nephew and niece are really into playing with Thomas the Tank Engine toys. These are pretty neat toys and I myself have contributed to their collection.

They're now being recalled because some of the trains have lead paint on them. Seriously?! Lead paint? Apparently they were made in China and, as we're learning, Chinese manufacturers are a little shady.

Well, that totally sucks. The company's apparently being cool about replacing the trains with non-poisonous ones, so that's good.

Here's some more info on the recall.
