          I was told at Ben's preschool the other day that his Diego back pack had been recalled for lead paint.   
        
        
      I looked online and don't see where a back pack is listed on any recalls, has anyone heard of this?  |

          I found this story: 
        http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/27/business...=rssnyt&emc=rss and this one: http://daddytypes.com/2007/09/28/backpack_...us_toy_news.php But, I couldn't find the actual recall from the CPSC --------------------  |

          that is not the diego back pack we have, but we DO HAVE a companion lunch box that goes with that spiderman backpack.   
        
        
      What ever. I'm throwing out the back pack we have and getting Ben a Grown up back pack, that he will hate because it doesn't have some cartoon on it, but it won't poison him.  |

          That's interesting and disturbing.  I remember not wanting to buy any character-based backpacks at Target because they were all made in China.
