Parenting and The End of The World

Batman and Robin star Chris O’Donnell and wife Caroline Fentress delivered their fifth child, a new daughter by the name of Maeve Frances O’Donnell, according to E! Weighing in at 8 pounds and measuring 21 and a half inches long, this is the newest tike to the O’Donnell clan. Maeve will have plenty of siblings to share her toys with including sister Lily, who is 8, brothers Chip, who is 7, Charlie, who is 4 and then Finley, who is about to be two coming up in March.

O’Donnell himself is from a large family of 7, but he and his wife are still figuring out how to work out the household duties. He admits on the Today show that they’re just figuring out how it all works, but they’re still very excited about the new addition and look forward to the new challenges that lie ahead.

Chris’s film credits include the Golden Globe-nominated miniseries The Company, special appearances on Grey’s Anatomy multiple times, and he also has an major role in the family film Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, based on the line of super-successful high-end dolls. Other films you may have seen him in include Batman and Robin (as Robin), The Bachelor, The Three Musketeers, Mad Love, Scent of a Woman and others.

Hello all. Mr. Christopher posting informative baby news for Corner Stork Baby Gifts. Speaking of baby gift ideas, you may want to steer clear of anything with the Mattel name on it for a little while and ad it to your list of Peter Panny things to avoid when looking for baby gift ideas for your next baby shower.

Mattel issued a HUGE list of toys that are being recalled and if you are a parent of a child chances are, you have one. The recall involves toys that were distributed by them that either A) have lead paint on them or B) have very strong magnets that can come loose. The lead paint issue was caused by a toy manufacturer that was subcontracted that went to a 3rd party paint supplier to cut corners without authorization from Mattel. Regardless, Mattel wants you to discontinue use on the following items below:

The single product recalls:

If you own the “Sarge” collectible figure from the Cars movie shown here, it most likely was made with lead paint. If it says that it’s made in China and has a code on the bottom ending in 7 EA, then your die cast car is affected. Visit the Mattel site at http://www.mattel.com/safety/us/ for the order form. They will send a prepaid tag via email and also a check for the cost of the item.

The Barbie Doll and Tanner Recall

If you have the Barbie Doll and Tanner set that comes with the blue pooper scooper with the silver tip on the end, then that toy is affected by this recall because the magnet can come out which can cause a potential choking hazard to very young children.

Now for the big lists.

Click on any of these product category links to check on your toys. You need to visit Mattel’s website, double check the codes on the bottom and then download the form and return your product if it meets the criteria. This item list could change, so again visit Mattel’s site for more current info since they are in the midst of a heavy investigation right now;

Fisher Price recalls (including Dora, Sesame Street Toys and more)

Polly Pocket related recalls

Batman related recalls (and Shonen Jump toys)

We hope this was helpful. Again, visit Mattel’s website for the latest and if you have one of these toys, get them away from your kids and visit Mattel’s site for a walk through on identifying affected toys.
