About 1,500 childrens' eyeglass cases have been recalled because paint on the cases contains lead levels in excess of federal standards.

Lead was found in the green cases, which have a green top and blue bottom. There are pictures of various sports equipment (soccer balls, basketballs, baseballs, pool table balls, footballs) drawn in dark blue on the lid.

The other cases, painted in yellow, pinks, orange and blue, may not contain lead but are being recalled voluntarily by the retailers.

The recalled products were sold at Costco, Sears stores in Quebec, and other optical stores across Canada.
