KHS America is recalling approximately 150 Green Tones 8-note Monkey Glockenspiels because the pink metal note bar contains excessive levels of lead in the paint. This violates the federal lead paint standard, and if the paint is scraped off and ingested, it can cause adverse health effects. The affected instruments were sold at independent toy and music retailers and online at amazon.com and gogreentones.com from January 2015 through September 2015. KHS America is providing a free replacement for the affected pink bar.
The pink metal bar on the instrument has paint with lead levels exceeding federal limits. If a child scrapes the paint off the bar and swallows it, it can lead to lead poisoning and other serious health issues.
Consumers should immediately remove the pink bar from the glockenspiel and contact KHS America for information on getting a free replacement pink bar.
