Business briefs: Disney will test toys

Following the recall of millions of toys by Mattel Inc. (MAT), The Walt Disney Co. (DIS) said Monday that it will independently test toys featuring its characters. The media and entertainment conglomerate will hire companies to randomly buy Disney-branded toys from store shelves and test for lead paint and other safety issues such as small parts that could come loose.
