Ty Europe Ltd. has announced today, in a flyer, that that they are recalling Gordon, style number 6110. The flyer states: "Recent testing has revealed some samples of 'Gordon' the jointed bear with rain coat and hat that do not meet the European Standards applicable to toys in one respect. Although the Attic Treasure Collection is typically purchased by collectors, we obviously want to meet the toy standards.
The tests showed that Gordon's raincoat and hat can contain too much lead to pass EU standards. Please note that there in NO danger from an individual "Gordon Attic Treasure", to any child sucking or chewing on it. The lead limits are set very low to ensure that too much lead cannot accumulate in the body system over the years from many sources."
