Wal-Mart has recalled baby bibs that they've been selling since 2004. Although the bibs feature kids' favorite Sesame Street characters, they also contain lead. The lead helps make the PVC softer, but there are other ways of doing that.

Incidentally, the recall followed a lawsuit filed by Oakland's very own Center for Environmental Health, who became aware of the high lead levels in September.

But hey, at least it's cheap, right?
