Ever since I saw that freaky little Thomas the Tank Engine's creepy googly eyes I knew something was really off about him. And that James! Have you seen him? So proud of his shiny red coat of paint, always thinking he's better than the other engines...
Well, James gets his comeuppance, that cheeky little twit, 'cause his little red ass is being recalled, along with about 1.5 million of his little red friends. The reason? That shiny red coat of paint is chock-full of toxic lead, and so is the shiny yellow paint on some other pieces. The irony here? I've got a huge basket full of these damn trains, and I know we have at least 5 of those pictured. So maybe you do too. Check the recall site for the models affected, and then you can contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
