Smurfs News

Finally we’ve unearthed some newspaper clippings from 1978 regarding the smurf lead paint scare. This article from The Times dated October 4, 1978,
describes how the smurf invasion of Great Britain was temporarily halted by the lead paint scare. Some samples of the lead paint used to make the smurfs were found to be above the specified limit, however, the article also states that smurfs were given the all-clear when tests by the Department of Health showed there was no significant risk. National Benzole who supplied the smurfs through UK garages could then resume selling the smurfs.
