Well given today's NY Times article on the high levels of mercury in Blue Fin Sushi, the warning lable on the doll could be "This Toy is Safer than Sushi"

TY INC.’S PRODUCTS ARE 100% SAFE FOR CHILDREN Ty Inc. has removed all Jammin’ Jenna dolls from the toy shelves in Illinois and replaced them with a redesigned version of the shoes that addresses any concern raised by the Illinois Attorney General. Ty took this action even though the Jammin’ Jenna dolls met all federal safety standards and posed absolutely no risk of harm to children. The Jammin’ Jenna doll meets all safety standards promulgated by the Federal Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the doll, like all of Ty’s products, was tested for compliance with federal regulations before it was introduced on the market. In November, Ty again tested the toys, and the tests reconfirmed that the toys were safe and met all federal safety requirements. Even though it was not required to do so, Ty immediately ceased manufacturing this item and changed the material of the shoes. Ty voluntarily stopped distributing and selling the toys in Illinois, even though Ty does not believe this product is governed by Illinois state law. Ty wishes to point out that it has always cooperated with the Illinois authorities on this matter. Consumers should rest assured that Ty has always been vigilant in ensuring that its toys are 100% safe for children.

Congratulations, you are one step closer to being America's highest lead content toy-you may leave the runway.

i actually read half of that post thinking that "ty" was tyra banks. she has apparently succeeded in her quest to worm her way into brains and make everyone think about her all the time. or at least it worked on me.
