Around 175,000 Curious George plush dolls are being recalled because of dangerous lead levels, but believe it or not parents, there is a way to stay on top of all those recalls. The recalled dolls includes five different models-- the "Birthday," "Fireman," "Sweet Dreams," "Tool Time," and "Tool Time With A Soft Face." The dolls were sold with Curious George story or activity books from December 2005 through August of this year.
