Antioch Publishing Recalls Bookmarks and Journals

October 4, 2007
Antioch Publishing is recalling about 150,000 bookmarks and journals because of excessive lead.

Paint on the spiral metal bindings of the journals, clip of the bookmarks and the clear coating on the marquis bookmarks and bracelets contain excessive levels of lead, which violates the federal lead paint ban.

This recall involves various designs of bookmarks and journals from Antioch Publishing's Signature Collection. The character-themed bookmarks and journals include the following designs:

The items were sold at book, card and gift stores nationwide from March 2005 through October 2007 for between $4 and $14. They were made in China.

Consumers should immediately take the bookmarks and journals away from children and contact Antioch Publishing for a refund.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Antioch Publishing at (800) 543-1515 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.antioch.com

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
