Galison/Mudpuppy Wirebound Journals Recalled

March 18, 2008    
Galison/Mudpuppy is recalling about 90,000 Wire-O Bound journals and calendars.

The paint on the metal spiral bindings of the journals contains excessive levels of lead, which violated the federal lead paint standard.

The recalled journals are spiral bound journals, activity books, and calendars sold in a variety of styles, sizes and colors. Galison or Mudpuppy and the ISBN numbers are printed on the back cover of the calendars/journals. Calendars/journals included in the recall are listed below:

The items were sold at specialty and gift stores nationwide and on-line from August 2003 through December 2007 for between $7 and $10. They were made in China.

Consumers should remove the back cover of the calendars/journals with the ISBN barcode number and contact Galison for instructions on returning the back cover for a refund. The journals/calendars should be discarded.
