WASHINGTON, March 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a voluntary recall of Galison and Mudpuppy-brand spiral bound journals due to a safety hazard.

The CPSC said approximately 90,000 "Wire-O Bound Journals and Calendars" manufactured in China and distributed by Galison/Mudpuppy of New York contain paint on the metal spiral bindings that violates the federal lead paint standard.

The recalled products are spiral bound journals, activity books, and calendars sold nationwide from August 2003 through December 2007 for between $7 and $10 in a variety of styles, sizes and colors.

Galison or Mudpuppy and the item's ISBN numbers are printed on the back cover of the calendars and journals.

Consumers can contact the company at 800-670-7441 for instructions on how to obtain a full refund. A complete listing of the recalled items and their identification numbers is available at www.galison.com
