RECALL: “Elite Operations” Toy Sets Due to Lead and Laceration Hazards

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Toys R Us, today announced a voluntary recall of about 128,700 “Elite Operations” Toy Sets because these toys contain high levels of lead in the paint, which is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. Also, the toys have sharp points, posing a laceration hazard.
