Shure Products Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 14,000 "Kaleidoscope Art" sets (item number 820) that were sold nationwide by Toys R Us from January through August 1994. Although the product packaging stated the crayons were "non-toxic" and conformed to safety standards, CPSC laboratory testing revealed the crayons contained high levels of lead that pose a lead poisoning risk to young children who might eat or chew on them. Each set, labeled for ages 4 and up, contains eight crayons, six sheets of geometric line art to color, and a kaleidoscope.
According to the recall notice, consumers who own Kaleidoscope Art sets should immediately take them away from children and return them to Toys R Us for a refund. Consumers may also contact Shure Products Inc. at (312) 633-9002 or write to Richard Moy, consumer affairs manager, at 1474 West Hubbard Street, Chicago, Illinois 60622 for more information about the recall.
