Seems to me that 2 out of 32,000 isn't terribly scary, but is worth fixing.

Any product called a Stuffed Fun Ball should be recalled anyway.

They have to recall these models otherwise it's sue city, and I don't mean Iowa. It's better to be safe, than sorry. At least these companies are showing a semblence of responsibility.

How did this make the front page? I get all these updates from an RSS feed of the consumer product safety commission.

I can't believe a story like this got so many votes. Where is the mad concern over bicycle recalls? Maybe I'm tripping or maybe I'm out of the loop, but what is this? 84 votes and 9 comments(10 including mine). Poll....How many people own these products or know someone that does? I'm sorry Stoner, I just don't get it.

I just bought my Mother-in-Law a Stuffed Fun Ball for her birthday. I was reminded of stories I'd heard about her in her Youth. Wish I had time to go get it and take it back to Target.

How did lead paint get on the 'fun balls?' I thought lead paint was banned??? That's very serious, because there's no way of knowing if children were affected. There should be a huge investigation of this one.
