Plain-English summary

Fantas-Eyes Inc. is recalling approximately 15,000 High School Musical Manicure Kits. The recall involves the 7½-inch-by-4¾-inch plastic see-through pouch with a pink zipper that contains the manicure items. The pouch features "High School Musical" printed in yellow gold with glitter and "Sharpay" printed in dark red. The glitter lettering contains excess levels of lead, which can be toxic if ingested by young children and cause adverse health effects.

The kits were sold through LTD Commodities and ABC distributing catalogs and websites, as well as on www.lakeside.com, from September 2008 to November 2008 for about $11. The products were manufactured in China. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled pouch away from children and contact Fantas-Eyes for a free replacement. Consumers can continue using the manicure items inside the pouch.
