TheKiddoSpace Children's Fingerpainting Kits
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
Why this is on The Recall Registry: This is a consumable product recalled for what is inside it. It was found to contain a drug or chemical that is not on the label. That is different from an allergen or a contamination scare: anyone taking it has been taking a substance nobody prescribed, in an unknown dose, and it can interact with medication they are already on. Follow the agency notice rather than judging it by how the product looks.
What’s wrong
The recalled children’s fingerpainting kits contain the hazardous substances methanol and ethylene glycol and are intended for children under 12 years of age, which violate the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. The products also contain a regulated phthalate, which violate the federal phthalate ban; phthalates are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
