Robbie Ducky Water Globes

December 13, 2007
Jo-Ann Stores Inc. is recalling children’s Robbie Ducky holiday water globes. The painted base of the water globes contain excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.

The recalled Robbie Ducky water globe is about 1-1/2 inches in diameter and sits on a 1-1/2 by 1-1/2 inch square base. There are four different globe designs including: Robbie Ducky on a red base, a reindeer on a green base, a penguin on a green base and a polar bear on a red base. “Holiday Inspirations Water Globe” is printed on the bottom of the globes.

The globes were sold at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft stores in Florida, Texas, Missouri and Georgia in November 2007 for about $5. They were made in China.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled globes away from children and return them to any Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft store for a full refund.
