Anker Play Products 10-in-1 Incredible Inventions Science Kit
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
Paint on the red and blue magnet contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint ban. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues. In addition, the product packaging lacks the required warning labels for magnets and balloons.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Lead exposure risk.
