NEW YORK, June 22, 2007

Lead paint can cause horrific long term neurological damages in

children. Damages here include cost of the Tainted Toys, cost of the

other toys tainted by lead from the Tainted Toys, medical testing

costs, and worry, fear, and anxiety over the long term effects of the

risk RC2 has created.

Balestriere PLLC (www.balestriere.net) has filed a class action

complaint in federal court in Brooklyn, New York against RC2

Corporation ( " RC2 " ) for its inexcusable misconduct in distributing

over one and a half million toys tainted by lead paint to toddlers

across the Nation, exposing those young children to grave risk of

long term neurological damages.

The lawsuit seeks class action status on behalf all the parents and

guardians ( " the Class " ) of the young children who were exposed to the

the Tank Engine toys ( " Toys " ) that the U.S. Consumer

Products Safety Commission subjected to a voluntary recall on June

13, 2007 ( " the Tainted Toys " ). The Tainted Toys were manufactured in

China using cheap lead paint, and distributed to children throughout

the United States for two and a half years, from January 2005 through

June 2007 ( " the Class Period " ).

If you are a member of the Class or know a child exposed to the

Tainted Toys and wish to discuss this litigation, or if you have any

questions concerning your rights or interests or would like to obtain

a copy of the Complaint, please contact plaintiff's counsel,
