Discount School Supply Recalls Measuring Chart

December 19, 2007
Discount School Supply is recalling about 13,000 giant measuring charts. The paint on the grow chart contains excess levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.

The Giant Grow Chart measures a child's growth with a giant yellow ruler-shaped plastic chart. The grow chart also has a picture of a bean stalk painted on it from top to bottom.

The charters were sold by discount School Supply catalogs and the company's Web site from August 2000 through August 2007 for about $10. They were made in China.

Consumers should stop using the chart immediately and contact Discount School Supply to receive a credit or refund.

Consumer Contact: For more additional information, contact Discount School Supply at (800) 919-5242 between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday; visit the firm's Web site at www.discountschoolsupply.com.

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