The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling “Big Lizard™ body boards” because of excessive levels of lead in the paint.
The green surface coating of the screened logo “Big Lizard™ body boards” on the underside of the body board contains excessive levels of lead, violating U.S. federal lead paint standard.
This recall involves the 46-centimetre Kick body board. The boards have various designs on the front including peace signs, white hibiscus, or yellow smiley face. A green lizard and “Big Lizard™ body boards” are printed on the underside in green.
About 900 were sold at Beachwear Outlet, Bargain Beachwear, Beach Village Inc., FJ Health & Beauty, Mor USA Inc., Shipwreck-Ocean Jewels, Wal-Mart and Wilcor International Inc. from January 2009 through May 2009 for about $4 US each.
