Wal Mart Recalls Animal Toys for Lead

(AP) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is recalling toy animals because of excessive lead levels discovered since it stepped up safety testing in August, the Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer said Friday.
Wal-Mart described the recalled items in a news release as toy sets of "realistic animals" that included farm animals, jungle animals and dinosaurs. It did not provide a brand name or say in the statement how many toys were subject to the voluntary recall or where they were made.

A Wal-Mart spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
Wal-Mart said independent testing revealed excessive levels of lead in the base material, not the surface coating. The retailer said it was posting photos and details of the affected toys on its Web site, http://www.walmartfacts.com. It said customers may return the product to any Wal-Mart store, with or without a receipt, for a full refund.
