NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Government safety officials and manufacturers recalled 544,000 China-made toys and other items Thursday over concerns over lead paint.
The actions were the latest in a flood of recalls this year, and federal regulators expect more to come.
Due to recent violations of U.S. lead paint standards, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, along with toy manufacturers and retailers, have stepped up their testing for traces of lead that can harm children.
"We do anticipate that there will be more recalls due to lead paint violations," said Consumer Products Safety Commission spokesperson Patty Davis.
