Little Janie puts baby to sleep and pretends she is dreaming of lollipops, soft kitties and other delightful thoughts. Never would Janie imagine that dolly's daydreams include the nightmare that the doll's maker would soon go through when dolly is found to be considered a danger to Janie.
Toy Galaxy of Richmond Hill in Ontario, Canada is recalling 2,400 “Dolly Daydreams Cradle Baby” doll and crib sets distributed in Canada. Sold from August through December of 2011, the soft plastic in the doll’s head contains a specifically restricted phthalate called Di-Ethylhexyl Phthalate (DEHP).
In Canada, as in the USA, only limited, allowable levels of DEHP are permitted in toys. DEHP is restricted in the United States under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) and has also been restricted in California under Prop 65 for many years.
Studies suggest that DEHP may cause both reproductive issues and developmental irregularities in children if the material containing the phthalate is chewed or sucked on for long periods of time. Phthalates used to soften the otherwise hard plastic can leach out of the plastic and become very accessible to the children.
The product affected comes in a variety of colors, but the Item Number 30263 and UPC Code 626881302639are both printed on the packaging.
Consumers should stop using the doll set, dispose of the product, and contact Toy Galaxy by phone at 1-905-470-2999 for instructions.
