The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with eeBoo Corp today announced a voluntary recall of about 80,000 sketchbooks with colored spirals because the paint on the sketchbooks’ colored spiral metal bindings contains excessive levels of lead violating the federal lead paint standard.
The recalled children’s sketchbooks have colored spiral metal bindings, drawing paper, and cardboard covers in the following styles. “eeBoo” and the style name are printed on a sticker on the back cover.
