MacPherson’s of Emeryville, CA and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission have issued a voluntary recall of the ‘Young Artist Easels’ because its chalkboard surface coating contains high levels of lead which is in violation of the federal lead paint standards.
This recall involves a children’s art easel which has a chalkboard surface on one side and a white board surface on the other side. The item number is AA13301 and the UPC number is 082435133010 which can be found on the original packaging. As of right now there have been injuries reported but MacPherson’s is acting proactively to prevent any injuries from occurring. About 10,000 of these easels were sold in art supply stores nationwide and online from July 2004 through June 2009 and sold for about $75.
Consumers who purchased an easel are being urged to stop use immediately and keep out of reach of children. Contact MacPherson’s at 866-319-5335, via email at recall@macphersonart.com or through their website, here, for more information and to claim your replacement unit.
