Toy chests recalled for lead poisoning hazard

About 3,000 toy chests decorated with graphics from the animated film "Cars," are being recalled because they pose a lead poisoning hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced.
Red paint on wooden toy chests have been found to contain high levels of lead, which can be toxic if ingested by young children.
Toy boxes marked with PO#FJ505192 or “PO#FJ605042” are involved in the recall.
The products were sold at Toys "R" Us stores from March 2006 through August 2006
Consumers should return the toy chest to the store for a refund.
