Mattel has extended its worldwide recalls of Chinese-made toys to more than 18.6 million, including popular Barbie and Polly Pocket.

The firm also warned that more could be ordered off store shelves because of lead paint and tiny magnets that could be swallowed.

The recalls came nearly two weeks after Mattel, the United States' largest toy-maker, recalled 1.5 million Fisher-Price infant toys worldwide, which were also made in China, because of possible lead-paint hazards for children.
