美國玩具巨擘馬特爾公司(Mattel Inc.) 8月二度回收上百萬的玩具,回收原因為中國馬特爾公司所製造的玩具含過量的有毒鉛料及磁鐵,可能造成兒童誤食。

此次回收包含了2007年5月至7月間所製造的電影「汽車總動員」(CARS)中的Sarge玩具車,車子表面金屬印模的塗料有超過標準值的含鉛量。

美泰公司在全球總計回收了43萬6000件的Sarge玩具車,其中美國地區有25萬3000件,其他國家則有18萬3000件。

馬特爾公司在16日發表聲明指出,此次回收Sarge玩具車是因為公司本身擴大偵查,以及自2007年8月1日大規模回收費雪牌玩具之後繼續檢測生產過程的結果,以確保玩具安全問題。

Mattel Recalls Toxic Toys From China - Again
EL SEGUNDO, California, August 17, 2007 (ENS)

Mattel, Inc., the world's largest toy company, is recalling millions of toys for the second time this month on concerns about high levels of toxic lead and magnets in toys made for Mattel in China.

This recall includes the "Sarge" character toy car from the film "CARS" manufactured between May 2007 and July 2007. The paint used on the die-cast metal cars contains impermissible levels of lead.

A total of 436,000 "Sarge" cars are being recalled, including 253,000 in the United States and 183,000 outside the country.

The recall of the Sarge toy results from Mattel's increased investigation and ongoing testing procedures following the recall of select Fisher-Price toys on August 1, 2007, the company said in a statement Tuesday.
