Jumpin' Jeans Denim Paint kits
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Polymerics, Inc. is recalling approximately 700,000 Jumpin' Jeans Denim Paint Kits because the paint on the wooden handles of the brushes contains excess lead. The kits, which were sold nationwide from January 1990 through January 1991 for $5.00 to $6.99, include three small containers of paint and a four-inch brush with a yellow handle. While the paint in the containers is safe, the brush handles exceed the federal limit of 0.06 percent lead by weight that is permitted in children's products.
Consumers should discontinue use of the paint brushes and return them along with all remaining kit materials to the retailer where the kit was purchased for a full refund. Consumers with questions can contact Polymerics, Inc. toll-free at 800-458-7010, or in Massachusetts at 617-891-5848.
