Do not eat your Valks.
Recall is not a factor since the toys are not marketed for sale in the US and the current problem is a violation of US saftey standards. I do not know if it is a factor in Japan since I do not know about their laws... even if it were a factor in Japan I doubt they, the seller or producer, would be interested in paying for the return for toys shipped to the US since they are not for US consumption.
If someone was to pick a fight over this possible none issue, the suppliers like HLJ and others in Japan would just close sales to the US which would be bad for all us here in the States.
