In a new twist in international relations, China has recalled all of their U.S. made Chelvis: The Chinese Elvis Action Figures saying, “they have been found to carry too little lead.”

China will recall all 300,000 action figures produced. Fortunately, out of the 300,000 produced, all but 3 are still sitting on Choys R Us (玩具是我们) shelves. The 3 purchased action figures were traced back to a Michael Schneider, a self-professed “Obsessive Chelvis fan”. Mr. Schneider has decided to hang on to these collector’s items saying in a statement, “I will take my chances with not having enough lead in my bloodstream.”

The Chelvis action figure (shown left) commemorates Chelvis role in the movie Hunan Headlock, the movie that propelled him into action hero status.
