WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Marvel Entertainment Group Inc halted shipments of its Chinese-made Curious Georgeproducts and may recall the toys if emergency testing shows unsafe levels of lead in them, the company said on Wednesday.

Marvel said it was taking the action after the advocacy group Center for Environmental Health said it found a Curious George doll containing 10 times the legally-allowed lead level.

Marvel said it would launch a recall if emergency tests show excessive amounts of lead in the products in question. The company said that all its product lines were being tested by an independent laboratory.
