In cooperation with the CPSC, RC2 has issued a voluntary recall on June 13th, 2007, of various Thomas & Friends� Wooden Railway vehicles and wooden train set components sold at toy stores and various retailers nationwide from January 2005 through June 2007.
The recall involves only the specific wooden vehicles, buildings and other train set components for young children listed in the chart below. RC2 has determined that the surface paints on the recalled products contain lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
The front of the packaging has the logo "Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway" on the upper left-hand corner and a manufacturing code may be located on the bottom of the product or inside the battery cover.
Toys listed in the chart below marked with codes containing "WJ" or "AZ" are not included in this recall.
