Daiso Recalls Children's Toys, Purses, Pen Cases

October 6, 2009
Daiso California LLC is recalling children's toys, purses and pen cases. The surface paint on the balancing toys and zippers of the purses and pen cases contain excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint ban. The inflatable baseball bat toys contain excessive levels of DEHP, violating the federal phthalate standard.

This recall involves balancing toys in the shape of dragonflies, children's purses in the shape of the head of a lion, frog or bear, children's purses with rainbow stripes, children's pen cases shaped like a piece of candy with stitching 'cool ice cream,' 'sweet cake,' or 'fad hamburger' on the front, and inflatable baseball bats with 'Home Run' printed on the side. Daiso is printed on the product's packaging.

The toys were sold at Daiso stores in California from March 2008 through May 2009 for between $1 and $4.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled products away from children and contact Daiso for a free replacement product or a full refund.
