Ladybug-Themed Children’s Outdoor Furniture Recalled Because of High Lead Levels

Far East Brokers has issued a recall on Leisure Ways Brands Kids Outdoor Furniture, specifically its line of ladybug-themed outdoor furniture, which includes a camp chair, a folding chair, a moon chair, a swing chair, and a patio set.  The red surface paint on the furniture contains excessive levels of lead, in violation of the federal lead paint standard.  The tracking label sewn into the seat of each chair includes the production date December/2012 and the words “Distributed by: Far East Brokers and Consultants, Inc.”

Consumers are advised to take the furniture away from children and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.  The products were sold at Weis Markets, wholesale distributors, grocery, and drug stores nationwide from January 2013 to May 2013 for between $10 and $50, depending on the item.  The products were manufactured in China.

The Chanler Group, on behalf of citizen enforcers and other whistleblower clients, seeks to uncover toxic chemical exposures and government fraud in our everyday lives, to hold the offenders responsible for such violations of state and federal law, such as the CPSIA, accountable to the public, and to effectuate change for a cleaner environment.
