WASHINGTON, May 22 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Pirates of the Caribbean sleeping bags, due to excessive lead paint.

The sleeping bags, made in China and imported by Hoop Retail Stores LLC of Secaucus, N.J., include painted zippers that exceed lead paint standards, the CPSC said in a statement.

No injuries have been reported, but about 4,100 of the sleeping bags with portraits of movie characters Jack Sparrow and Davey Jones on the front were sold between April 2007 through October 2007 for about $25.

They were sold nationwide through Disney stores.

Consumers were advised to take the sleeping bags from children and return them to any Disney Store for a full refund.

Consumers can also call the retailer at 866-902-2798 for more information.
