The red paint used on some bowling pins has been measured to be in excess of the maximum allowable level of 90 ppm, a violation of the federal lead paint standard.
This recall affects Toy Story 3 Bowling Game Rugs with a batch marking of JA 148.
The recalled item contains six white plastic bowling pins with two red stripes painted on the necks, one black plastic ball, and a 68 inch x 26 inch nylon game rug with a print of the character Buzz Lightyear on the front. The batch marking JA 148 appears on the bottom front of the packaging just above the bar code, and is also located on the tag attached to the rug.
They were sold at Walmart Stores in the U.S. between September 1, 2010 and September 25, 2010 for about $18.
Consumers should stop using the bowling pins immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement set.
