426,000 Child Products Recalled Due to Excessive Lead Contaminants
It was a busy day for the Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada (Canada’s Version of the CPSC).
174,000 “Children’s Greeting Cards with Bracelets” where recalled due to the “product’s” surface paint coating on the bracelets containing excessive levels of lead that violate the federal lead paint standard and a general regard for humanity.
This item really bugs me as its sheer cuteness and danger.
Product: Papyrus Brand Greeting Cards with bracelets
Units: About 174,000
Importer: Schurman Fine Papers, of Fairfield, Calif.
Apparently they sold a gift card that included the pictured bracelet. The back of the greeting card reads, “BD 63401 | © Jean Card & Gift Company” and the card insert reads, “USA $6.95 | CAN $10.50 | Made in China | © Jean Card & Gift Company” and includes UPC number 734524634013 in the lower right hand corner.
