Recently, my daughter's Curious George plush doll was recalled. It was just by chance that I heard about the high lead content in his plastic face while browsing the web on a totally unrelated topic. It was very sad to mail away a beloved toy (but I did receive a $15 refund!).
At first, I thought I'd give her an opportunity to say goodbye to George before I shipped him back to the factory, but I didn't want it to seem like a funeral. So I didn't say anything and she hasn't missed him---yet. But one day soon, I know she'll be looking for George and I don't know what to say. How have you handled this recall business? Got any advice on what to tell the kids? |

I'm just wondering if anyone can suggest websites, message boards, magazines, organizations, etc.? I'm pretty good at finding children's books and music on Amazon.com...but like when you Google "multicultural toys," you don't get great results."
