Color Me Impressed

I missed this video from about a month ago, but since I still seem to rank pretty high in searches related to the Thomas Recall I thought I’d pass it on.  ABC News followed RC2 CEO Kurt Stoelting to their plant in Chinato show what they are doing to ensure the lead paint fiasco of this past summer.  It includes things like better paint testing of paint when it comes in the factory and clearer labeling so factory workers know what paint has been approved for use.  Learning Curve (the RC2 subsidiary who puts out the Thomas trains) has their full system outlined on their website.

I for one can guarantee that Santa will probably be bringing some new friends from the Island of Sodor to our house. I’m really not worried about more paint from RC2, mainly because they got hurt so hard the first time, they can’t afford to screw up again.
