Hobby Lobby Recalls Easter Egg Toys Due to Lead Paint Violation

Plain-English summary

Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. is recalling approximately 13,000 units of Camouflage Easter Egg Treat Containers and Easter Spinning Egg Tops. The recall was initiated because the paint on these toys contains excessive levels of lead, which violates the federal lead paint standard.

The recalled products were sold at Hobby Lobby stores nationwide from January 2008 through March 2008. The camouflage eggs, sold in packages of eight for about $2.50, feature Item #1031 and UPC 43078 01031.

TST, Kin, HK."

No injuries have been reported in connection with these products. Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children and contact Hobby Lobby to receive a $3 exchange card, which can be used toward the purchase of any other products sold at Hobby Lobby stores.
