What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a high-risk hazard (lead poisoning) in a product intended for children, but the source text explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, which limits the severity to High per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Hidden Hills Productions Inc. is recalling the Maptangle™ World Edition Floor Mat Map Games because the orange paint on the vinyl floor mats contains excess levels of lead. Lead poisoning is a serious hazard to children, associated with behavioral problems, learning disabilities, hearing problems, and growth retardation. The recall pertains only to the floor mat component and does not include the playing cards or other game parts. Floor mat map games with manufacture date codes are not subject to this recall.
About 140 units were sold nationwide from February 2005 through June 2005 for about $25 each. The games were sold at educational, book, museum, and specialty toy stores. The floor mats were manufactured by Team WorldWide Corp. of Taipei City, Taiwan, and distributed by Hidden Hills Productions Inc. of Westlake Village, California. The game is age-graded for children 7 years and up.
No injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled game maps and contact Hidden Hills Productions Inc. at (800) 641-9996 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit the company's website at http://www.borderlinegames.com for information on returning the maps and receiving a free replacement or refund.
