Schylling recalls Thomas & Friends spinning tops over lead paint
The Schylling Associates toy recall and a 2002 test found lead paint in a Thomas & Friends spinning top. The Rowley, Massachusetts company redesigned the toy that year and later replaced the wooden knob with plastic in June 2002 after Tribune inquiry. A follow up test found 2.4 percent lead, 40 times the legal limit, prompting a voluntary recall of 24,000 units shipped between June 2001 and July 2002. The CEO said previous shipments were rejected if tested positive and a broader review includes a Circus Top and other wooden-handled pails.
