Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 6,970 Captain Cutlass Toy Pirate Pistols are being recalled because the surface paint contains excessive levels of lead, which violates the federal lead paint standard. These toy guns feature a brown plastic grip with a skull and crossbones motif, a black metallic stock and barrel, and an orange muzzle cap. They were sold at Halloween and specialty stores nationwide from April 2008 through May 2012 for about $6.50. Consumers should immediately stop using these toys and contact Dillon Importing to receive a full refund.
