Online auction leader eBay on Tuesday said that following recent toy recalls, it will seek to stop the resale of recalled items inadvertently listed by sellers on its Web site.
The company is working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on the matter, it said in a statement. eBay is placing links to its recalled items policy on various product category pages, it added.
More than 20 million made-in-China toys have been recalled over the last two months, mostly by U.S. companies, as exports from manufacturers have come under scrutiny for high levels of lead and design defects.
