Re the toy recall. Are these toys all “painted” with leaded paint, or are these toys made of plastic?

If these toys are made of colored plastics, and if the plastics are colored with a dye containing lead, the lead is locked into the plastic and is not available, even when chewed upon. It is locked in the plastic permanently and the plastic is not digestible. How does one find out if the toys are actually painted and therefor dangerous, or are made of plastic? If made of plastic, this recall is a hoax, perpetrated for unknown reasons by unknown persons.

It looks like the faces have been painted – either way, I don’t want to take a chance.
