Children's Fishing Kits
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Shakespeare brand children's fishing kits are being recalled because the paint on the fishing rods contains lead, which is toxic if young children ingest it and can cause adverse health effects. The recalled kits feature characters including TAZ, Tweety, Mucha Lucha, and Spider-Man, as well as Fishing Heroes, Kids Kits, Shark Kits, and Dolphin Kits. The recalled fishing rods are brightly colored red and yellow with "Shakespeare" written on the reels. Fishing kits with purple, blue, or pink rods are not affected by this recall, nor are certain translucent red and yellow rods or metallic-colored red rods.
According to the recall notice, consumers who have these fishing poles should stop using them and contact Shakespeare Fishing Tackle for information on how to receive a free replacement fishing kit.
