Another Toy Recall on Account of Lead
Thousands of crayon and paint sets made in China have
been recalled by Toys "R" Us because the packaging of the wooden box
contains lead. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says no injuries
have been reported from the use of the Imaginarium Wooden Coloring Cases. Toys "R" Us sold the sets
nationwide from October 2006 through this month for about $20. Twenty-seven
thousand have been recalled. Consumers have been asked to take the products
away from children and return them to the nearest "Toys "R" Us
store for store credit. The recall follows Mattel's recall last month of 19
million Chinese-made toys, some of which were contaminated with lead paint.

US Forest Service: Fire Danger
Eldorado National Forest Fire Chief Bob Patton says The fire danger in the Eldorado National Forest
is critically high. He is also says “The
fire danger in the Forest is higher than it
was when the 16,000
acre Power and 8,000 acre Freds fires started in 2004. It’s higher than 2001
when the 16,000 acre Star Fire started, and it’s higher than 1992 when the
24,500 acre Cleveland
fire started.” “To
the tens of thousands of visitors we expect to come to the Forest this Labor Day weekend Smokey Bear’s message is
dead on: “Only you can prevent forest fires.” Campfires are the number one
cause of human started wildfires in the national forest, says Patton.
