Troy-Bilt Recalls Children's Gardening Gloves Due to Lead Poisoning Hazard

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The stamp-painted logo on the backside of the gardening gloves contains high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

What to do

Consumers should take these gloves away from children immediately, and contact the firm to exchange the gloves for a free kid-size gardener's apron. Troy-Bilt is directly contacting consumers who purchased these gloves.
