Northern Tool + Equipment Recalls Little Digger Toy Due to Lead Paint

Northern Tool + Equipment has issued a recall for the Little Digger Toy, a stationary scooper toy with moveable poles and a red painted steel frame that turns out to contain levels of lead in excess of federal law.  The toy was sold from August 2014 through June 2015 under the Wel-Bilt Brand.

Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the toy, put it out of the reach of children, and contact Northern Tool + Equipment at 888-518-0339 for a full refund.
