Leading toy manufacturer Mattel has recalled millions of Chinese-made toys that present a choking risk to children or have high levels of lead.
The largest of Tuesday's product recalls is of 7.3 million toys which contain magnets that can come loose, including Polly Pocket, Batman, Doggie Day Care and One Piece play sets.
Nearly 500,000 Sarge toy cars that coated with paint containing lead have also been recalled worldwide by the American company.
The recall is Mattel's second in two weeks.
Earlier this month, consumers were warned about 1.5 million Chinese-made toys that contain lead paint.
Large recall
The play-set recalls were announced on Mattel's website, while the warning over the die-cast cars was announced by the Consumer Product Safety Commission in Washington.
Nancy A Nord, acting CPSC chairman, said no injuries had been reported with any of the products involved in the recall.
"The scope of these recalls is intentionally large to prevent any injuries from occurring," she said.
The toy industry has issued several recalls for products made in China in recent weeks.
More than 80 per cent of toys sold worldwide are made in China, and the string of recalls had prompted nervousness among toy retailers that shoppers will not purchase their products.
