WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Elegant Gifts Mart Inc. of Los Angeles is recalling 1,600 chairs and 1,300 stools due to high levels of lead in the surface paint, regulators said.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the chairs and stools, which were designed for children, have yellow surface paint that contains excessive levels of lead, which is prohibited under federal law.
The folding chairs and the stools have yellow metal tube frames. The plastic seat, seat back and stool have a cartoon-like scene with monkeys, teddy bears, mushrooms and heart-shaped balloons.
They were imported from China and sold exclusively at 1 to Seven stores in Puerto Rico from September 2010 through June 2011 for about $6.
Consumers were advised to take the tables and chairs away from children and return them to a 1 to Seven outlet or contact Elegant Gifts Mart for a full refund.
Consumer can call 787-290-5625 for information.
