What happened

Lakeshore Learning Materials has recalled the Concept Classification Activity Kit and Opposites Take-Home Pack because metal weights in these games contain lead, which can cause lead poisoning in children. Lead poisoning is associated with behavioral problems, learning disabilities, hearing problems, and growth retardation. The recalled metal weight in the Concept Classification Activity Kit is a silver-covered disc about 1-1/4 inches in diameter with a small loop at the top, featuring a bird's face and the number "4" on one side and "4 Woody Gardena" on the other.

An affected consumer should immediately remove and discard the metal discs from the recalled games. To receive a lead-free replacement piece, consumers should call Lakeshore Learning Materials.

Details from the source

In the Concept Classification Activity Kit, each game has various disks that say, "Hot," "Cold," "Light," "Heavy," etc. Children then match the appropriate game piece to the disk that best describes the characteristics of the object. One of the objects is a silver-covered metal weight, shaped like a disc measuring about 1-1/4 inches in diameter with a small loop at the top. Imprinted on one side of the disc is the partial face of a bird and the number "4"; and on the other side, it states, "4 Woody Gardena." In the Opposites Take-Home Pack, a transparent backpack with blue trimming, games include opposite picture cards, crayons, paperback book, and various objects.
