Unfortunately we have the unpleasant task of advising of a voluntary product recall for some items of the Thomas the Tank Engine - Wooden Railway range by Learning Curve.

Paint on a limited number of items from one of their many suppliers contained lead which may be toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health affects.

It may be a bit confusing, as only one supplier was affected, and sometimes different suppliers made the same item, but in different packaging eg. As part of a set, or sold by itself.

If you are unsure as to how a listed item was purchased, Learning Curve are more than happy to replace it as detailed below.

The items affected are:
