Another toy recall

Toys 'R' Us is recalling 27,000 crayon and paint sets made in China because of lead contamination.

This is the second recall Chinese-made products in less than a month.

The first recall prompted Pawtucket-based Hasbro to “redouble its safety reviews,” according to Wayne S. Charness, senior vice president of corporate communications for the nation’s No. 2 toymaker.

Most of Hasbro's toys are manufactured through contracts with factories in China and Asia. The crayons are not made by Hasbro.
