NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mattel Inc. said on Tuesday it has recalled 11 more models of its Chinese-made toys globally, including eight pet and furniture playsets sold under its Barbie brand and three under the Fisher-Price name.

In total, 522,000 U.S. toys and 322,000 toys outside the United States are being recalled as a result of the company's ongoing investigation of its toys manufactured by vendors in China.

Mattel in the last five weeks had announced two recalls of millions of Chinese toys due to excessive amounts of lead paint.

Mattel said no Barbie dolls were included in the recall.
