The federal government recalled many products.

There was a very high level of recalls from manufacturers.

Explanation:

2007 is known as the "year of the recall" because in that year a very high level of recalls were made by manufacturers but most importantly and alarmingly was the toy industry.

Every child, from being a baby to toddlers and preteens usually have one or more toys that they play with. 2007 seemed like the year to not get toys for kids as it became public knowledge that high amounts of lead was used in toy production that year.

Lead for all its usefulness is a poisonous  or dangerous substance to the human body talk more of a kid. The revelation of excessive lead content in toys caused a recall of toys by toy companies among other companies.

Also affected were art supplies, jewelries, etc.
