(WSBT) Mattel's recall of more than 9 million toys has some parents calling their doctors and local health departments. They're concerned about the potential for lead poisoning.

There are no local reports of children being harmed, but lead poisoning can build-up over time.

This is Mattel's second recall in just two weeks. The latest includes one million die-cast cars that contain lead paint.

"Just touching or playing with these toys are not going to create a problem. You can't absorb lead through the skin. But they're little kid toys and what does every little kid do? Put them in their mouth," says Doctor J.R. Reid who works in St. Joseph Regional Medical Center's ER.

Doctors say lead poisoning is uncommon. But say concerned parents can have their child's finger pricked and blood tested.

"If your child has these toys, it may be reasonable to see your pediatrician," says Reid.

But what about your child's other toys?

One worried mother brought a toy that wasn't listed on the recall list to the St. Joseph County Health Department Wednesday to be tested.

Health department officials used an electronic device to detect lead on the toy several times and found nothing.

She says parents can also buy lead testing kits from home improvement stores to use at home.

Officials say testing every toy isn't realistic, which is why they recommend monitoring the Consumer Product Safety website and everything your child puts into their mouth.

"Children should not be chewing on things that are not food items," says Rebekah Waechter, the lead program coordinator for St. Joseph County Health Department.

Health officials say the lead levels in the recalled toys is not the only thing they should worry about. They say lead paint is still in many homes in St. Joseph County.

Officials say the following items can also contain lead- lead paint, drinking water, metal jewelry, stained glass, soil, ceramics, glazed pottery, mini blinds, imported candies and food, and fishing weights.

The Health Department can answer any questions at 574-235-9582.
