Kendamaspot Recalls Japanese Wooden Skill Toys

December 30, 2009
Kendamaspot LLC is recalling about 300 Kendama Japanese wooden skill ball toys. The surface paint coating on the ball contains excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.

This recall involves Oozora and Shin-Fuji Kendama Japanese wooden skill toys. The toys have a ball connected by a string to a handle with three cups and spike on top. A Japanese Kendama Association sticker is affixed to the toy. The red and green balls on the Oozora and only the red balls on the Shin Fuji are included in the recall.

The toys, made in Japan, were sold at Kendamaspot’s Web site and cultural festivals in Washington State from July 2008 through April 2009 for about $20.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children and contact Kendamaspot to receive a free replacement ball.

For additional information, contact Kendamaspot toll-free at (866) 903-7795 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.kendamaspot.com.
