It's been so long since I saw any lead paint recalls I almost missed these two. Okay, so they were hidden amongst all the peanut butter product recalls.
Various Toys Recalled by CBB Group Due to Choking Hazard and Violation of Lead Paint Standard
The fishing games, baby rattles and pull-a-long cars contain small parts, which can detach and pose a choking hazard to children. The mini pull back cars and bubble guns have surface paints which contain excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.
Children’s Flip Flops Recalled by Alpargatas Due to Violation of Lead in Paint Standard
Flip flops of the Havaianas brand containing decorative paint were sold under the following model names: Baby Estampas, Baby Pets, Kids Apple, Kids Fairy, Kids Flores, Kids Lighthouse, Kids Monsters, Kids Surf, Baby Letrinhas, Kids Sports, Kids Candies, Kids Fun, Kids Love, Kids Sereias, Kids Speed, Kids Lucky Bug, Kids Pets, Kids Rock, Kids Slim, Kids Wonder Woman, Kids Small Flowers and Kids Tropical w/Kit. A photo of a representative flip flop is provided below. Havaianas flip flops without decorative paint are not being recalled.
I am actually shocked with this one. The flip flops were made in Brazil. It's very unusual to see any 'product with lead paint' recalls made outside of China these days.
