'The First Years' Potty Training Seats Recalled

December 6, 2007
RC2 Corp. is recalling about 160,000 of its 'The First Years' "3-in-1 Flush and Sounds Potty Seats."

A decorative plaque inserted into the back of the potty seat could have orange paint that contains excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.

The recall involves the First Years 3-in-1 Flush and Sounds potty training seats. Each seat has either a yellow chair with a green removable seat and a purple lift out-pot or a blue chair with a white removable seat and green lift out-pot. The words "100 Acre Wood" are molded on the chair back. The plaque inserted into the back of the seat contains molded Winnie the Pooh and Tigger characters.

The seats were made in China. They were sold at mass and specialty retailers nationwide from April 2006 through August 2007 for between $20 and $25.

Consumers should keep these recalled items away from young children and should contact RC2 to receive a permanent clear protective cover that covers the plaque. The unit can still be used as a potty seat.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact RC2 toll-free at (866) 725-4407 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.recalls.rc2.com.
