Mattel facing lawsuit from recalled cars
More on the Mattel recall as seen on ENGADGET.COM:
“While Mattel has been on a roll of late with swank new toys, the firm has apparently hit a rough patch after being forced to recall ‘millions of toys including 436,000 die-cast cars.’ The wee roadsters purportedly ‘contained excessive amounts of lead,’ and now a class action lawsuit has been filed that aims to force the firm to ‘pay for the testing of children who might have gotten lead poisoning from the toys.’ Reportedly, representatives from Mattel were unavailable to comment, but the outfit’s CEO has stated that ‘the company’s more aggressive testing methods to uncover tainted toys may lead to more recalls’ in the future.”

Patricia - The standard .99 cent Hot Wheels cars fall outside of the recall. The main pieces of diecast-related toys involved with the recall are from the “Cars” Movie line.
What about old school Hot Wheels and Match box cars from the 70s and 80s. I kept all of these from when I was a kid and now my 2 y/o loves to play with them. Anybody have any info on this?
