Mattel 'Cars' toys 'Sarge' recall

[grouchyoscar]

My DH just told me about this Thought it was worth passing on.

Sarge is the army jeep character.

I've checked DS's and his Sarge was made in Thailand - phew

[speedymama]

I hope the tide starts to turn against all the cheap imports from China.

[kitsandbits]

We have the diecast lightening - is that ok??

[grouchyoscar]

Thing is, they ain't cheap. It's the manufacturers that the companies use.

And we bought most of his Cars stuff off eBay.com so I was peering at them with a magnifying glass

[grouchyoscar]

KitsandBits...The article only mentions Sarges made in China so I think Lightning will be ok

[PersonalClown]

Great. I have one.
Anyone know how to get it replaced?

here pc

[LadyVictoriaOfCake]

PC, just checked yours is fine

[PersonalClown]

Tahnk god. Ds would be devastated if it had to go back.
I've just checked. Out of 37 Cars (Ds obsession!) only 10 were made in Thailand.
I'll be screwed if they recall any more.

Cali - had a look on BBC and think it's only Sarges made between about May and July this year (sigh of relief).

[legalalien]

Cali. And think how lonely Phillmore will be.

Mattel's site
