East Bay Baby

There are numerous locations of Daiso (or, as my brother calls it, the Japanese $1 store) around the Bay Area.  They sell toys, housewares, Japanese plastic products, etc., usually for around $1.50.  I just read that they’ve recalled some children’s toys due to lead paint and/or choking hazards.

The recall website (complete with handy pictures of affected toys) is here:
