After a massive toy recall earlier this week, Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon has launched a Web site to serve as a recall clearinghouse, combining information from several federal agencies.

Mattel, the company that owns famous toy brands such as Fisher-Price and Barbie, issued a recall Tuesday of 9 million toys made in China and sold in the U.S. The toys contain small magnets or could have lead paint that can be dangerous if ingested, according to the Associated Press.

Nixon's site, ago.mo.gov/recalls, lists recalls and safety alerts issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard.

"This Web page offers a one-stop resource for keeping tabs on exactly what products have been recalled and what consumers should do if they have any of the recalled products," Nixon said in a news release.
