US toy maker Fisher-Price said it was recalling nearly one million toys made in China. The company fears they could be colored with toxic paints.
The US toymaker said it was recalling 967,000 toys. The toys were sold in US stores between May and August this year.
"Paint on some of the toys could have too much lead," the company said in an announcement.
A US Product Safety group told parents to "take the recalled toys away from children" and talk to Fisher-Price.
The recall included around 80 items, including toy cars, dolls and musical instruments, many connected to the Nickelodeon children's TV network.
Fisher-Price, owned by Mattel Inc., said the toys were produced by a single company in China but did not give the name or location.
Several weeks ago a US toy company recalled wooden "Thomas the Train" figures which were also made in China and painted with lead paint.

As the priest Antonius Hambroek stood in the dim chamber of Fort Zeelandia, his eldest daughter clung to him, her voice trembling. “Father, don’t go. They’ll kill you, and what will become of Mother and my sisters?” Outside, the sounds of Koxinga’s relentless canon siege boomed through the fortress. The defenders were on the brink of collapse. Starvation gnawed at their resolve, and the air carried the acrid stench of spent gunpowder and rotting flesh. Dutch reinforcements from Batavia had failed to arrive, leaving the garrison isolated and hopeless. Hambroek’s face was calm, though sorrow weighed heavily on his
As we bundle up in thick coats to stay warm during the winter, there is a population that has already adapted to extremely low temperatures. These people live in the remote city of Yakutsk, the coldest city on Earth. Yakutsk is situated in the heart of Siberia, which is the capital of the Sakha Republic in Russia. This historic mining city began to flourish in the 19th century following the discovery of gold deposits. Given its construction on permafrost, the average temperature in the city remains below 0°C for over half the year, with winter temperatures dropping to an astonishing -50°C.
