NEW YORK, NY December 10, 2007 —Stores in New York are still stocking toys with unsafe levels of lead, according to the state Consumer Protection Board. A review, ordered by Governor Spitzer last summer after a number of national recalls, found about 620 recalled toys still on shelves in 2800 stores.

The effort also identified three more toys - made in China and sold in dollar stores - that had excessive lead in their paint: the "Army Force" car set imported by Encore Sales; green and orange "Sprite Tractor Trailer" toys; and "Wrestle Mania" action figures.

Governor Spitzer called on the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue a national recall of those toys. He also asked the Consumer Protection Board to draft legisaltion that would punish businesses that sell recalled products.
