Are Mattel's Hotwheel cars safe for kids?

Are they another toxic product that will kill the child i want to give them to?

1. I played with them in the early 70s and they killed me.

Not really.

3. I don't believe you

5. I remember one kid's mom used the track instead of "the belt"

But that's more of a user problem than a product problem.

2. Mattel has been praised for its aggressive recall measures

When something is discovered to be wrong with one of their products, they're very quick to address it.

Check their website--any recall notices should be posted there.

6. Tastes like chicken

Loved them as a kid. A better gift would be LEGO Racers. They are the same size, but there is a lot more creativity play in them.

No better toy than LEGO. Seriously.

7. No, they'll put your eye out
