Today, August 14, 2007, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Mattel, issued a recall for various figures such as Batman, Barbie and Tanner, Doggie Day Care and Polly Pocket items due to the risk of magnets detaching from the toys and posing a choking or other hazards. The recall also involves the 'Sarge' die cast car as it poses a lead poisoning hazard.
