The product, in the report: Variety of HotWheels and Disney diecast cars made by Mattel
I have two sons, one is 2.5, and the other one just turned 1. I took my one-year old to Kaiser for his 1 year check-up, and after we did the blood tests, we found out that his lead level was way too high. We also tested our 2.5 year old, and his lead level turned out to be higher. Then we tested all of their toys with lead swabs and found out that a lot of the diecast Hotwheels and Disney cars they play with have lead. Almost all of the die cast cars from Hot Wheels and Disney cars, both of which are made by Mattel, had lead in them. My sons play with them all the time.

First aid Made Aug 10, 2016, sent to the company Aug 18, 2016, published by CPSC Sep 8, 2016
The product, in the report: Hot Wheels Model Fast Fortress. While I don’t know the size these are the kinds that sell between $1-$1.69 at the big box stores.
I am writing to hopefully prevent more injuries from a certain Hot Wheels model. The Hot Wheels model in paticular is the submarine called Fast Fortress Yellow and Blue in color with some red. At the back of the submarine looking car it has a tall metal wing sticking up in the air. A few days ago my son woke up crying and I ran into his room and for one odd reason or another this particular model of car didn’t get put away. I did not see it and stepped right on to the medal wing part that sticks up and out a good distance. This caused a deep puncture wound to the bottom of my foot. I contacted Hot Wheels letting them know about the danger, saying I’m an adult imagine what could happen to a child who isn’t paying attention. They completely shifted the blame on me and told me the toy isn’t dangerous. I disagree.
