For most kids, the first of
20
baby teeth comes in around
6
months, and the last one falls out around age
12
. But there can be a
great deal of variation. Some kids don’t get their first teeth until later.
These are the same kids who are more likely to lose them later,
sometimes well into the teen years. If your teen still has baby teeth, it
may be that she is just on a later schedule. It only becomes a problem
if a permanent tooth is ready to come in while a baby tooth is still in
place. If this happens, the permanent tooth could become impacted—
then the baby tooth needs to be removed, says Dr. Joanne Oppenheim,
a pediatric dentist in Chicago. If your child hasn’t lost all her primary teeth

LEGAL NOTICE OF PROPOSED SETTLEMENT
If in 2007 or Earlier You Purchased
or Received as a Gift a New
Mattel or
Fisher-Price Toy,
You May Be Entitled to a Payment
from a Class Action Settlement
Para una notificacion en Espanol,
visitar nuestro sitio Web,
www.mattelsettlement.com.
A proposed settlement has been reached in a
class action lawsuit involving certain Mattel and
Fisher-Price toys that were sold in the United
States and subject to recalls or withdrawn from
the market in 2006 and 2007.
The lawsuit
claims
that
Mattel
and
other
companies
(“Defendants”) violated the law by designing,
making,
marketing
and
selling
toys
with
excessive levels of lead, and small magnets that
could become loose. Defendants deny they did
anything wrong.
The settlement will provide
refunds to certain “Class Members” who submit
“Claim Forms.” If you're a Class Member, you
may send in a Claim Form to get a refund in the
form of a check or voucher.
Claim Forms can
be obtained at www.mattelsettlement.com
or by calling

A federal court
authorized this notice.
Am I a Class Member?
You're a Class
Member if you purchased or acquired (including
by gift) either: (1) a toy subject to a Mattel recall
on
11/21/06,
8/2/07,
8/14/07,
9/4/07,
or
10/25/07; or (2) certain blood pressure monitor
cuffs in toy medical kits (collectively called the
“Recalled Toys”). To see if a toy you bought or
received as a gift may be a recalled toy, go to
www.mattelsettlement.com
and
review
"Exhibit A" for a list of affected product names
and numbers or follow the online claims
process.
What Does the Settlement Provide?
In
addition to refunds for Class Members, Mattel
agreed to reimburse Class Members who
incurred out-of-pocket costs for lead testing of
a child as a result of his/her exposure to a
Recalled Toy within 6 weeks of the Recall
announcement.
Mattel
also
agreed
to
implement and maintain a toy safety program
for three years, and to donate $275,000 to the
National Association of Children's Hospitals and
Related Institutions.
What Are My Options?

you must mail a Claim Form
or submit it
online at www.mattelsettlement.com by May
