Toxic chemicals have been found in cheap dolls putting children exposed to them at risk of long-term fertility problems, officials warn.
The Sweet Fashion Doll and Girl Beautiful Doll - costing between £1 and £3 - have been supplied across the UK.
The Nottingham wholesaler is being investigated by city officials, who said it could not yet be named or the shops it supplied for Christmas.
The dolls contain high levels of phthalates, say trading standards.
The potentially harmful chemicals are used to toughen plastic in the Chinese-made dolls, said the council team.
Yeah, this is just careless and negligent... I can see a lot of parents being tempted by a toy like this (especially those who aren't very well off already ).
I just hope this gets resolved before any children suffer a long-term injury as a result of this.
