Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

BSN SPORTS has recalled approximately 31,200 rubber critter toys sold in various animal shapes like octopuses, alligators, frogs, and penguins. These toys, which were primarily used for physical education tossing games, were sold individually or in sets between February 2017 and June 2018. The recall was issued because the orange and yellow surface paint contains lead levels that exceed federal safety standards. Consumers should immediately stop using these toys and contact BSN SPORTS for a merchandise credit.

Risk

The orange and yellow paint on these toys contains lead, which is toxic if swallowed by young children. Ingesting lead can lead to serious adverse health effects, especially in developing children.
