Red Toolbox is recalling Stanley Jr. Kids Wheelbarrow and 7-piece Garden Sets sold at Costco because the painted long hoe and rake contain lead levels exceeding the federal ban, creating a poisoning hazard for children.

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: This recall involves lead paint on children's products, which is a high-risk hazard for vulnerable populations. Although no illnesses have been reported, the federal lead paint ban violation and the inherent toxicity of lead ingestion in young children meet the High severity threshold for risk-of-harm products.

Plain-English summary

Red Toolbox is recalling the long hoe and rake in Stanley Jr. Kids Wheelbarrow and 7-piece Garden Sets due to lead paint hazards. The painted long hoe and rake contain levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint ban. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues.

The recalled sets were sold exclusively at Costco stores nationwide and online at www.costco.com from February 2024 through June 2024 for about $35. Approximately 459,200 units were sold in the United States, and about 60,480 in Canada. The sets can be identified by a white label on the bottom of the wheelbarrow stating "Red Toolbox" with a manufacturing date of 12.2023. The recalled hoe and rake have yellow-painted long wooden handles with "Stanley Jr." painted in black, and black-painted metal heads.

Consumers can obtain a free replacement through Red Toolbox's recall website at https://www.recall-rtb.com/ by filling out a form and uploading photos of the disposed items and the white label from the wheelbarrow.
