Children’s Toy Rakes Sold at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores Recalled



September 26, 2007
Children’s Toy Rakes sold at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores are being recalled. Surface paint on the handle of the rake can contain excessive levels of lead paint, violating the federal lead paint standard.

The recalled children’s rake has a green handle with a yellow duck head attached to the handle. The rake has seven purple tines, also known as teeth. The rake is about 24 inches long. “Robbie Ducky™ Garden Collection Rake” is printed on a tag attached to the handle.

The rakes were sold at Jo-Ann stores nationwide from January 2007 through September 2007 for about $7. They were made in China.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled toy rake away from children and return it to any Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store for a full refund.
