Four styles of a plush Curious George dolls were recalled after they showed total lead levels in surface coatings in excess of the federal limit.

Following concerns raised by the Center for Environmental Health (CEH), Marvel immediately initiated a comprehensive re-testing of its entire Curious George line, consisting of more than 60 items. The results of this re-testing showed that all of the items complied with federal standards for total lead content, except for the Curious George Themed Plush with Book -- a plush doll with a plastic face sold in four styles: Birthday, Fireman, Sweet Dreams, and Tool Time. That item contained surface coatings with total lead levels in excess of the federal standard, prompting this voluntary recall. Parents and caregivers should remove the recalled toys and contact Marvel to learn how to receive a full refund.
