Plain-English summary

Front Porch Classics of Seattle, Washington, is recalling approximately 2,000 "Old Century Dread Pirate" coffee table games. The recall covers games with lot numbers 75, 79, and 81, which are located on the bottom of the treasure chest. The games were sold from October 2003 through March 2004 for about $100 at approximately 170 toy and game stores, online and catalog vendors, and gift stores.

The recall is being issued because the surface coating and metal in the ships contain lead. This poses a risk of lead poisoning to young children, who could ingest lead by swallowing a broken part of the ship or by repeatedly mouthing the ships. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should take the recalled "Dread Pirate" ships away from children immediately. To obtain a free replacement toy ship that does not contain lead and will not break, consumers should call Front Porch at (800) 526-0314 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. (PT) Monday through Friday, or visit www.frontporchclassics.com.
