This little toy is Sarge from Cars, a kids movie that my son, 3, loves.
We gave him this car along with a bunch of other characters from the movie for his birthday last week. His first response, after he took a bite out of the paint, was that it needed more lead. So I ordered a Polly Pocket and some weird looking super hero thing in a green suit, and let him eat that. Now I think he is fully leaded.
This entire thing kind of reminds me of an old SNL skit about dangerous children toys. Mainway Toys, makers of fun playthings like Pretty Peggy Ear-Piercing Set, Mr. Skin-Grafter, General Tron's Secret Police Confession Kit, Doggie Dentist, Johnny Switchblade, and Bag O' Glass.
Now I'm off to the toy store to get something with asbestos and maybe some mercury.
