Dowling recalls horseshoe magnets

- By Peter Hadzipetros
California-based Dowling Magnets is recalling about 91,500 horseshoe magnets because they contain high levels of lead, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.
The magnets were sold in U.S. stores from March 2003 through April 2008 for about $10 US.
No adverse health effects have been reported.
The magnets were made in China.
Consumers should stop using the magnets and contact the company for a replacement.
