About 60,000 DesignWare Confetti Bursts made in China have been recalled because they have lead paint on the bags of confetti, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced today.

Distributed by American Greetings Corp., of Cleveland, Ohio, the product contains confetti in plastic bags. When the bags are inflated, consumers squeeze the bag and confetti bursts out. Each package contains six confetti bursts.

The confetti bursts were sold at discount, toy, drug, grocery, party, and specialty/gift stores nationwide from December 2003 through September 2007 for about $3.

For additional information, contact American Greetings Corp. at (800) 777-4891 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.ag.com.
