Plain-English summary

Enesco Imports Corporation is recalling a Wood Toy Train and a Toy Chest Music Box because the paint on these items contains excess lead. The Wood Toy Train, Item #300403, consists of a locomotive and two cars painted in various colors. The Toy Chest Music Box, Item A315427, features a drum-shaped base with a boy on top opening a toy chest. Both items were manufactured in Taiwan and sold nationwide since 1986.

Testing by the State of Ohio Department of Public Health, in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), found that the paint on the Wood Toy Train contained 1.5% lead and the paint on the Toy Chest Music Box contained 3.0% lead. CPSC safety requirements limit the amount of lead in paint to no more than 0.06%. Neither the CPSC nor Enesco have received any reports of lead poisoning from these toys.

Approximately 900 Wood Trains and 900 Toy Chest Music Boxes were sold. Consumers should stop using these items immediately and discard them or return them to the retailer where purchased for a full refund. Retailers should remove both items from sale and return them to Enesco Imports Corporation.
