Would like to know if any of the toys from 1973 to 1977 from Fisher Price were recalled like the $997 Play Family Village and the 1976 #942 Lift and Load. I am concerned and wouldn't want my kids to play with them if they are. ebay seems to have alot of recall items for sale, how can we stop that as parents?

I have to add my comment about the setup of this site. We should not have to go to another page for each item! Put it all on one or two pages! I'll go to another parenting site to see the recalls & skip all your ads!

We are going through everything and getting rid of anything from China. Our grandkids were tested for lead and their results were through the roof. We just spoke with a nurse whom informed us that ANY child under the age of 5 years old is at danger of getting lead poisoning. Be safe; buy only USA made products and stay away from imported China, Japanese and Thailand toys.

Or you could just boycott buying items from China since the majority of recalls are items made in that country. Yes, you can if you take the time to look find baby items not made in China. I managed to for my son and none of the items I own have ever gotten recalled. Here are two sites to but toys not made there www.nmctoys.com and http://www.pureplaykids.com/.

I agree with mdumas as this website is super slow to load, takes so long to see the complete list of recalled toys going one by one.
