It is reported that Mattel, a toy making company, has issued recalls for millions of Chinese-made toys that contain magnets that could be swallowed by children and lead paint. The recall includes 7.3 million play sets, including Polly Pockets and Batman action figures, and 1.5 million die cast cars that contain lead paint.

The Polly Pocket and Batman recalls were announced on the Mattel website and the recall of the lead-painted cars were announced at a Conference by the Consumer Product Safety Commission in Washington.
