TheKiddoSpace is recalling approximately 9,400 children's fingerpainting kits because they contain hazardous substances including methanol, ethylene glycol, and regulated phthalates. These kits, sold in light-blue boxes with a round paint palette and coloring books, violate federal safety standards for products intended for children under 12 years of age. The company has received 18 reports worldwide of skin irritation, swollen lymph nodes, and strong paint odors. These products were sold online at TheKiddoSpaceStore.com and Amazon.com from June 2023 through February 2025.
The paint contains toxic chemicals that can cause skin irritation or swollen lymph nodes upon contact, and the regulated phthalates are toxic if ingested by young children, leading to potential adverse health effects.
Consumers should stop using the recalled handwriting kits immediately, take the pens and refills away from children and contact The KiddoSpace to receive free replacement pens and refills, including shipping. Consumers will be asked to dispose of the pens and refills according to local and state regulations and send a photo of the disposed products to info@thekiddospace.com.
