Question by Tonks: What are you doing about Mattel Fisher-Price recall?
My daughter received one of the Mattel products that are on the recall list for her birthday recently. The recall notice says the date code should be between 109-7LF thru 187-7LF.
The toy set she received has a date code of 017-7LF, which means it’s not up for recall. However, I still took the toy away from her because I am a bit uneasy about the possibility of lead in the product. I’ve already been affected by the Thomas train recall and am growing very concerned. Any opinions? Should I allow her to play with the supposed “non-affected” recalled product?
I believe I mentioned that someone “gave” my daughter the recalled product. I don’t make a habit of buying “Made in China.”

If you are uncomfortable about it, you could just take it away. Depending on her age, she might not even notice. Also, you can call the company to put your mind at ease.
Good luck!
They have little Lead-Check sticks you can use to check the toys. Call your local hardware store(Home Depot, etc) to see if they have them.
You rub the end on the toy and it indicates the lead.
Best of luck!
I personally will never buy there products agian, I think it is to much of a risk. This isnt the first recall. My two children are too vaulable to take that kind of risk. They have had many recalls on there products in the past. I suggust you might want to consider removing all toys made by that company. And never buying them again. I wouldnt even take them back to the store to go on sale agian for someone else’s child. I would send them to recyleing and if I couldnt do that I would throw them out., This is my personal opion.

yes take it away from her
i called and fisher price says if ur worry send it back to them and they will give u the money for it
so i would do that cuz the codes dont match but still send it back u dont want it
and go get her tested for lead
they can help her if she has lead in her system
i had one that had led so i am geting my child tested to make sure my childs ok
it is very scary
