Aug 28, 2009 | Parker Waichman Alonso LLP About 8,400 toy action figures that violate the federal lead paint standard are being recalled today by Liquidation Outlet, Inc., of Lakewood, Wash.  According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), the products involved in this recall include  Force Soldier Playsets, Pirate Expeditions with Parrot, and Pirate Expeditions with Treasure.

The CPSC is warning consumers that the recalled action figure toys have surface paints which contain excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.

Lead poisoning is considered by many experts to be one of the most important chronic environmental illnesses affecting children today.  Exposure to lead in children and unborn children can cause brain and nervous system damage, behavioral and learning problems, slowed growth, hearing problems, headaches, mental and physical retardation, and behavioral and other health problems. Lead is also known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Once poisoned by lead, no organ system is immune. Of particular concern is the developing brain because negative influences can have long-lasting effects and can continue well into puberty and beyond.
