China Made SpongeBob Products Toxic; Recalled

More children’s items made in China have been recalled because they contain high levels of lead.

The largest recall affects about 250,000 SpongeBob SquarePants address books and journals, manufactured in China and imported by Martin Designs. They have been recalled because paint on the metal spiral bindings can contain high levels of lead.

There are a variety of styles affected.  If you have one of these go to the Consumer Product Safety Commission ( CPSC’s website ) for more information.
