All affected toys were made in China for Mattel

Wow, that’s a lot of toy recalls lately. We didn’t have any of those things here, but I do know that some of you have daughters that like Polly Pocket. It’s good to know that Mattel is serious about toys hazards though, this is the second recall in a matter of weeks from the company. (Mattel is the parent company of Fisher-Price)
