In a move that is in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., of Bentonville, Ark. is voluntarily recalling the Nu-Tronix Karaoke Cassette Player/Recorders. A total of about 220,000 units will be recalled. The recall is because the paint on the control buttons on the player contain excessive lead. This poses a lead poisoning hazard to young children.
Lead poisoning in children is associated with behavioral problems, learning disabilities, hearing problems, and growth retardation.
