Plain-English summary

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, LLC, is recalling approximately 12,900 Red Sunglasses/Toddler Cap Sets sold at Disney resorts and cruise lines. The recalled items consist of solid red sunglasses with dark plastic lenses attached to a navy blue or light blue toddler cap featuring Mickey Mouse or Stitch. The caps have red bills, and the sunglasses are attached via a red strap with a hook and loop fastener. "Walt Disney World®" or "Disneyland® Resort" is stitched on the back of the caps.

The recall was initiated because the paint on the red sunglasses contains high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. The source text states that there have been no injuries or incidents reported.

The products were sold from November 2004 through June 2005 for about $16 at The Disneyland Resort in California, The Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Disney's Vero Beach Resort in Florida, and the Disney Cruise Line based in Florida. Consumers should immediately take the recalled red sunglasses away from children and contact Walt Disney World Co. at 866-802-2782 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.disneyworld.com, for a free replacement pair of sunglasses and 20 Disney Dollars®.
