When the previous recall of Thomas items was announced, we spent three hours going through all the Thomas toys to make sure none of them were in the recall. I am soooo glad we made a list at the time, because it made it a lot easier this time. Doesn’t it make you wonder if someone is purposely tainting these products to make a huge impact on our children?
