Juvo Plus Children's Butterfly Net Sets and Army Playsets Recalled for Lead and Phthalate Contamination

Juvo Plus is recalling butterfly net sets and army action figure playsets because components contain lead and phthalates above federal limits. These chemicals are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause health problems.

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 source text explicitly states no injuries or illnesses have been reported. However, the hazard involves toxic substances (lead and phthalates) that can cause health harm if ingested by young children, making this a risk-of-harm product. Per the rubric, this qualifies as High severity.

Plain-English summary

Juvo Plus Inc., of Monrovia, California, is recalling approximately 22,500 butterfly net sets and 4,500 army action figure playsets. The recalled butterfly net sets feature three nets in different colors with telescoping handles extending up to 34 inches. The army action figure playsets include 300 individual action figures, displays, and set pieces.

Components of both products contain levels of phthalates and lead that exceed federal phthalate and lead content standards. Phthalates and lead are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues. No injuries have been reported.

The butterfly net sets were sold online at Amazon.com, eBay.com, Facebook.com, Kroger.com, Overstock.com, Target.com, Walmart.com, and Wish.com from September 2017 through June 2022 for approximately $10. The action figure playsets were sold online at Amazon.com, Bluepanda.co, eBay.com, Facebook.com, Groupon.com, Kroger.com, Overstock.com, Target.com, and Walmart.com from February 2018 through June 2022 for approximately $35.
