WASHINGTON, May 22 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Tinker Bell Wands, due to excessive lead paint.
The toy wands, imported from China by Hoop Retail Stores LLC of Secaucus, N.J., include paint on the pearl beads in the flowers of the wand that violates federal standards for lead content, the commission said in a statement.
The wands, which light up and produce sounds, are decorated at one end with white flowers, a green bow and a pin featuring Tinker Bell's face.
About 8,000 wands were sold through the Disney Store of Pasadena, Calif., between April 2007 and October 2007, retailing for about $13.
Consumers were advised to take the wands from children immediately and return them to Disney Store for a full refund.
Consumers can also call Disney Store at 866-902-2798 for more information.
