Active Kyds Recalls Children's Toy Shovels and Garden Tool Sets Due to Lead Violations; Sold Exclusively on Amazon.com (Recall Alert)

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

The hazard

Excessive lead paint levels on the yellow shank and black blade on the shovel, and the black paint on the garden tool set violates the federal lead paint standard. In addition, the black plastic shovel handle and bag clip on the garden tool drawstring bag contain excessive lead content levels, a violation of the federal lead standard. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effect.

What to do

Consumers should immediately take the recalled toy shovels and garden tool sets away from children and contact Active Kyds for a refund.
