Thanks for the heads up! My son got the green dino as a gift for his second b-day in December, but fortunately it does not have one of the date codes listed. Whew.

Another thing was recalled was the first mobile phones that are blue and red and have a teddy bear on the outside. The yellow attenae can come off and is a choking hazzard.

Hummm.....I wonder if the miniature versions of these that were given out by Burger King are being recalled as well? We have a miniature hippo one from a BK kid's meal.

Thanks for the heads up! My son got the dog for Christmas. Works out well for us, he doesn't like it anyway, now I can get him the Playskool one so he can be like his sister.

We don't have one of these but a friend does and it scares the crap out of our son! I knew there was a reason...
Seriously, though, this begs the question, how the heck is lead paint still showing up in kids' toys? I see the manufacturing country is China, which doesn't surprise me, but are they still using lead paint in their country? Holy cow!
