Los Angeles-based OKK Trading is recalling about 5,400 army figures because they contain high levels of lead, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.
The recall affects army figures measuring 19 centimetres long sold through dollar stores and OKK Trading's website from June 2008 through September 2008 for about $
1 US. The toys were made in China.
No adverse health effects have been reported.
Caregivers should take the toys away from children and contact the company for a refund or replacement.
