Hazard

The surface coating and the metal in the ships contain lead and pose a risk of lead poisoning to young children. A child could ingest lead by swallowing a broken part of the ship or by repeatedly mouthing the ships.

Remedy

Take the recalled "Dread Pirate" ships away from children immediately and call Front Porch for free replacement toy ships that do not contain lead and will not break.

Incidents & injuries

None reported.
