Chinese-made 'Hillbilly Teeth' recalled

Published: April 10, 2008 at 12:45 PM

WASHINGTON, April 10 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of about 26,000 packages of Chinese-made "Hillbilly Teeth" due to a health hazard.

The CPSC said the importer, Funtastic of Houston, initiated the recall because gray surface paint on the teeth was found to contain excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.

The recall involves item No. 2657, a 2-pack of fake "Hillbilly Teeth." The item number is printed on the packaging. The recalled toy was sold nationwide from March 2005 through March 2008 for about $2.

Consumers can contact the company at 800-434-5207 for refund information.
