Recalled food and toy lists - 8.2.07

Cleveland County Environmental Health Director Marty Allen and his staff spent Thursday morning searching kitchen shelves of day care centers and food pantries looking for more than 25 recalled products that could be linked to botulism.

County officials visited independent grocery stores, flea markets, child care centers, private schools, summer camps and recreational parks scouring kitchens looking for chili, beef stew, corned beef hash. The recall also includes some dog food.

Nearly a million Fisher-Price toys manufactured in China are being removed from toy store shelves worldwide, including Cleveland County, because the surface paints might contain excessive amounts of lead, which could lead to health problems if ingested by children

Elmo in the Giggle Box and Dora’s Talking Pony Place are among the roughly 100 Sesame Street, Dora the Explore and other children’s toys recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday.
