Inspectors from the Ministry of Public Health's Environmental Health Department visited toy-stores in Santo Domingo yesterday to make sure that they had removed Chinese-manufactured Mattel/Fisher Price toys that were found to contain lead in paint from their shelves. Nelson Rodriguez Monegro from the Public Health Ministry met with importers and toy-store owners to discuss the removal of the products. Last week Mattel/Fisher Price ordered a nationwide recall of the toys in the United States. In the DR, the toys will be tested at the science department at the UASD state university, according to Monegro.
The Customs Department announced it agreed with Mattel to destroy the toys at Dominican ports.
