Dillon Importing recalls about 7,000 Captain Cutlass Pirate Toy Guns.
The surface paints on the pirate toy pistols contain excessive levels of lead, a violation of the federal lead paint standard.
This recall involves Captain Cutlass Pirate Pistol toys with a brown plastic grip, a black metallic stock and barrel, and a muzzle with an orange cap. The double-barreled toy pistol has one trigger and two hammers. A skull and crossbones motif is engraved on the grip.
They were sold at Halloween and specialty stores nationwide from April 2008 through May 2012 for about $6.50.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled pistol toys away from children and contact Dillon Importing for instructions on returning the product for a full refund.
