Plain-English summary

Kindermusik International is recalling approximately 430 Lily Pad Clacker instruments. These wooden rhythm instruments are designed for use with the Frog Went A-Dancing kit. The recall is necessary because the green coating on the instruments contains high levels of lead, which poses a risk of poisoning to young children.

The recalled instruments are 5.25 inches long and feature two green lily pads connected to the base by a string. They were sold as part of a music kit for about $30 by Do-Re-Me & You! consultants in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, and Texas from October 2003 through December 2003. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

Consumers should stop using the Lily Pad Clackers immediately. They can return the instruments to Kindermusik International in the postage-paid box provided by the firm to receive a replacement product of comparable value. For more information, consumers can contact Kindermusik at (800) 628-5687 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, visit www.drmy.com, or email [email protected].
