CultureFly L.O.L. Surprise! Trick or Treat Subscription Boxes Sold with Metal Doll Pins
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The paint on the children's metal doll pins contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint ban, posing a lead poisoning hazard. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Lead exposure risk.
