Children's Sunglasses Recall: Lead Paint, Again
How To Identify the Hazardous Toy
FGX International of Smithfield, R.I., and the Consumer Product Safety Commission have recalled children's sunglasses in a variety of designs because they have lead paint. This is the latest in a record-breaking string of recalls due to lead paint on toys and other children's products that were manufactured in China.
Some 260,000 pairs of sunglasses sold nationwide in various stores from January-November 2007 for between $3 and $11 are included in the latest recall.
Look for these style names printed on the left temple arm of the sunglasses:
- Balloon
- Bond
- Boom
- Bubble Gum
- Bullseye
- Buzz
- Conqueror Jr.
- Curly Q
- Encompass Jr. IK
- Fade IK
- Gadget IK
- Iceman
- Lily

The name "Foster Grant" may also appear on some, but not all, of the sunglasses.
