I just read about this one in the Atlanta Paper. This is really getting bad.

Curious George Dolls Recalled

"The recalled dolls have a plastic face and are sold in five different models, including "birthday," "fireman," "sweet dreams," "tool time" and "tool time with a soft face." They were sold with Curious George story or activity books at toy and discount department stores nationwide from December 2005 through August 2007."
 
I agree that this is getting bad. I don't even know if I want to buy any toys for my little boy for Christmas!
 
it's getting to the point you don't know what to buy anymore!
 
Hmmm...I think I have one of those. We bought my daughter the Sweet Dreams one on clearance in September at Toys R Us as her "big sister" gift that we gave her when my son was born. I am going to feel so bad taking it away from her!
