Paint on the red and blue magnet contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint ban and -- if ingested by young children -- can cause adverse health issues.
In addition, the product packaging lacks the required warning labels for magnets and balloons.
No incidents or injuries have been reported.
This recall involves the Anker Play Products 10-in-1 Incredible Inventions Science Kit.
The kit contains a red and blue painted rectangular magnet bar, two yellow balloons, a small light bulb, metal clips, paper clips, a sticker page, three red coated wires and various other wires, screws and small mechanical parts.
The “Adventure Club” logo is printed in yellow, blue and green on the bottom left on the front of the box.
The affected magnet is painted red and blue and measures about 2 inches by 0.5 inches by 0.375 inches.
The kits, manufactured in China, were sold at Menards and small independent toy stores nationwide from August 2020, through November 2020, for about $6.
