The amount of lead that has to be ingested (mind you the kid has to eat the paint for lead to be toxic) varies with the individual. Some people are harmed with a few grams, others might have to ingest almost a quarter pound. Mind you this is over a lifetime as lead accumulates in the system.

Mattel should pay for testing. They are in for a lot of legal fees because to defend themselves against the inevitable lawsuit they will need to get background levels for all areas that people are suing from, and areas they moved from. Lead-based paint wasn't taken off the market until the '70s so there's still a ton of it out there.

This is a sticky wicket. I'm glad I don't work for Mattel's QA or legal department.
