Another lead paint recall is in the news, the U.S. CPSC and Woodstock Percussion, Inc. have announced a Calypso Steel Drum recall because of excessive levels of lead paint on the drums.
The toy drums are made of steel and have a wooden stand with two wooden drum sticks. The sides are painted red and the drum pan is black, with silver markings showing the locations of the musical notes. The rim is stamped with #5 or #6. Some of the drums with #5 are not affected by the recall.
The toy drums were made in Trinidad and sold for between $50 and $100 by mail order catalogs, websites and retailers nationwide from December 2006 through December 2007.
Consumers have been advised to immediately stop using any of these recalled products and to contact the manufacturer for replacement products. You can read the CPSC's recall notice here.
