European Baby Toys
Lead paint in IKEA toys?
I just bought some toys at IKEA from the MULA line. One is a roller coaster with wooden beads and the other is a tow wagon filled with blocks. The blocks and beads are painted and it says it was made in China. I can’t find any other information on this anywhere. Now I wish I would not have bought them. Though IKEA is a European company and is very popular (and so I assume they do not want any recalls due to paint), I can’t be sure that these toys are safe for my baby.
Does anybody have any more information? Thank you!
I think you’re wise to be concerned. However, I went to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website and entered IKEA in the search box. Here is the most relevant link to the product you own. It’s also from the MULA line…but it was recalled because of a potential choking hazard.

Here are links to notices of other IKEA recalls:

I would advise you to bookmark the CPSC’s website (see link below) and subscribe to its e-mail list so that you can stay atop all toy recalls. Also, add Recalls.gov (link below) to your favorites so that you can stay apprised of other product recalls. It appears that your item has not been recalled for any reason. I hope this information puts your mind at ease, though if you remain concerned…I would simply remove the toy from your child so that you eliminate the danger.
