WASHINGTON, D.C. – MacPherson’s is recalling about 10,000 of its children’s art easels because the chalkboard surface coating contains high levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.
The recall involves the company’s Young Artist Easels 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.
The easels were sold at art supply stores nationwide and online from July 2004 through June 2009 for about $75.
Consumers should immediately take these recalled easels away from children and contact the firm to receive a free replacement chalkboard panel.
For additional information, contact MacPherson’s at (866) 319-5335 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Pacific time Monday through Friday, visit the firm’s
