About 66,000 spinning tops and 4,700 tin pails featuring Thomas and Friends and Curious George characters are being recalled from the marketplace because they contain high levels of lead, the U.S. Consumer Safety Product Commission said Wednesday.
The CPSC said surface paint on the toys, imported by Massachusetts-based Schylling Associates Inc., exceeds U.S. standards.
A company spokesman confirmed that 215 pails were sold in Canada along with 354 tops. Schylling's president, Jack Schylling, said the company has never knowingly sold any toys known to have contained lead paint.
