On Thursday, November 8, 2007, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled about 175,000 Curious George plush dolls due to contamination by dangerous levels of lead. These dolls as well as many other children's toys that have been recalled because of dangerous levels of lead were likewise, manufactured in China.

Manufactured by Marvel Toys, of New York, N.Y., the Curious George dolls contain excessive levels of lead in their surface paint, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. If ingested by children, lead is toxic. To date, there have been no reports of illness related to Curious George Plush Dolls.

The recalled dolls have a plastic face and are sold in five different models, including "birthday," "fireman," "sweet dreams," "tool time" and "tool time with a soft face." They were sold with Curious George story or activity books at toy and discount department stores nationwide from December 2005 through August 2007.

Consumers can contact Marvel Toys at 800-352-2064 or visit their website for information including how to receive a full refund.
