2007 will go down in history as "The Year of the Recall," and even with stricter policies, parents say they still haven't forgotten the toy problems of last year.

Still in 2008, officials in Illinois are trying to take the danger out of child's play.

It wasn't long ago when concerns like these were the biggest problems of the Stacey Goff's shopping trip.

But in recent years... finding a doll with a pretty dress has taken a back seat to safety.

In 2007 alone, the Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled almost 50 million toys across America
.
For parents like Stacey Goff, that's a figure that hits way too close to home.

"It could be scary because at this age, a child puts anything in her mouth frequently." said Goff.

This week the Illinois Attorney General's office is distributing a free booklet of the most recent recalls at the Heart of Illinois Fair, and it's a move child–care providers say is long overdue.

"Last fall when they did the big lead paint recall, it was very widespread, so we did have some toys that we had to remove." said Michelle Spiva, Little Friends Center Director.

In addition to insuring safety, the new guide is meant to boost confidence in consumers, something retailers say they've been trying to do for months.

"When we have a recall, immediately we put a notice not only on the shelf where they would've purchased it, but also at the front lanes." said Robb Godsil, a Target Employee.

Despite the constant notifications surrounding the millions of toys recalled in the last few years, experts say only ten percent are ever actually returned. The reason? Some parents say it's simply hard to keep up.

"There's always something new being recalled, and so I'm just pretty leery about buying toys in general." said Goff.

That's a fear officials are hoping to soothe in consumers, and bring them back to the days of dolls with pretty dresses.

That list of recalled toys will be available in the fair's main building all week.
