OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - The California attorney general is asking
Target Corp. to pull its Valentine's Day "Message Bears" from
store shelves over concerns about lead in the toys.
In a letter sent Monday, Attorney General Jerry Brown said
testing of the holiday items revealed lead levels that violate
federal law.
A message left at Target's corporate headquarters in Minneapolis
seeking comment was not immediately returned.
The products were identified as a pink stuffed bear with
"XOXO" across its chest and a brown stuffed bear with "I Love
U" across its chest, with the word "love" represented by a
heart.
Brown's letter says an investigator for the Center for
Environmental Health, a nonprofit watchdog group, bought the toys
at stores in California.
