WASHINGTON, May 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Wednesday announced a voluntary recall of Cowboy on a Horse Little Rider Toys, due to excessive lead paint.

The battery-operated toys, featuring a cowboy riding a horse, are about 8.5 inches tall and 7.5 inches long. The rider, sitting on a brown horse, is wearing blue pants and a red shirt.

The toys, made in China, were imported by Master Toys and Novelties Inc., of Los Angles, Calif.

About 6,000 of the toys were sold in discount stores between April 2007 and January 2008 for between $5 and $7.

No poisoning incidents have been reported.

Consumers are advised to take the toy from children immediately and return it to stores for a refund.

Consumers can also call Master Toys and Novelties Inc. at 800-237-5020 for more information.
