I also have not encountered the info about one batch of paint in my research on the recall. I would think that if this was true, the company would be promoting it. Regardless, lead does not belong in any children's product, nor should these products be manufactured in facilities that use lead in other products for the risk of contamination.

It seems My boy would have to eat a thousand trains or more to have any bad effect. He loves his trains and I'm going to keep buying them. I think they've done the right thing performing a recall they really didn't have to ! <br/>Tina Hi,
