RC2 Corp., of Oak Brook, Illinois, in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, is voluntarily recalling various Thomas & Friends(tm) Wooden Railway toys. It seems the dread lead strikes even such high-end brands as Thomas -- these trains, buildings, and other accessories are decorated with lead paint.

There are a number of different toys being recalled. If there is a manufacturing code, either on the bottom or inside the battery cover, toys with codes containing "WJ" or "AZ" are not included in the recall. The recall covers the toys listed below:

Take these toys away from children immediately and contact RC2 for a replacement.
