Disney, Marvel kids' sunglasses recalled for lead paint
WASHINGTON -- About 215,000 pairs of kids' sunglasses have been recalled due to high lead paint levels, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced.
The recall includes 20 styles of Disney, Marvel and Sears/Kmart brand sunglasses that come in a variety of colors and have printed images of characters on the frames.
"Surface paint on the sunglasses contains excessive levels of lead, which is prohibited under federal law," the statement reads.
The sunglasses were sold between December 2013 and March 2014 at CVS, K-mart, Rite-Aid, Walgreens and other retail stores nationwide.
Consumers should immediately take them from children and return them to FGX International, says the Consumer Product Safety Commission. FGX, of Smithfield, R.I., imported the sunglasses from China.
