Things Fall Apart: More Thomas Trains Bite the Dust

I'll bet you're wishing now that you stuck with Brio and avoided those damned creepy trains with faces. I know I am. They self-populate like rabbity stuffed animals, at least the ones that didn't cost you $15 a pop. We must own hundreds of dollars worth of trains and track (anybody want some?) But another 200,000 trains and accessories have been recalled by RC2 Corporation, joining the other million or so already recalled, because of—you guessed it—lead paint.

The All-Black Cargo Car from the Brendham Fishing Dock set is being recalled, as is "Toad" (with brake lever). Your three-year old will know which one is Toad, trust me. Also recalled is the Olive Green Sodor Cargo Box that came with the Cranky the Crane Deluxe Set, and some accessories (too lazy to type them out but you can check here) that came with the Conductor's Figure 8 Set.

Take the offending items away from your grasping, crying, clutching child immediately and contact the manufacturer for a "replacement toy". I'm curious to know what that is.
