The product
This recall involves Adam the Apple children's stackable toys. The toys have 15 wooden pieces with a story written on each piece. They measure about 6 inches tall and 6.5 inches wide when stacked and look like a happy-faced red apple with a leaf atop. The phrases Adam The Apple, By Chris Bayon and Illustrated by Patrick Carlson are written on the leaf.
What can happen
Surface paint on the wooden toys contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint ban. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
