The toys were recalled after testing found unsafe lead levels in paint used to make the toys.
The official said it was the biggest federal fine for a lead paint violation. The official, who was not authorized to discuss the fine before it was announced, spoke on condition of anonymity.
Mattel and Fisher-Price were among dozens of manufacturers that yanked millions of Chinese-made toys from store shelves around the holiday shopping season in 2007.
