Minga Fair Trade Imports Recalls Toys Because of High Lead Levels

Minga Fair Trade Imports has issued a recall of wooden flipping acrobat toys because the surface paint contains lead in excess of federal standards.  The recalled flipping acrobat toys are made of painted wood and are 8.5 inches tall.  The toys consist of two rectangular wooden sticks connected by a wood crosspiece near one end and a coyote, super hero, woodpecker or yellow bird wooden cartoon character suspended by nylon string at the other end.  The toys were sold nationwide at independent children’s stores and gift shops from September 2008 through May 2013.

Consumers are advised to immediately take the recalled flipping acrobat toys away from children and return them to Minga Fair Trade Imports for a full refund.  Minga Fair Trade Imports can be contacted at 855-738-5260 or online at www.mingaimports.com.  The toys were manufactured in Peru.
