Toy store chain Toys "R" Us has announced a massive Chinese toy recall, the latest in a series of industry-damaging recalls for toys tainted with toxic substances. This recall, announced by the company and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, is for Imaginarium Wooden Coloring Cases.

The wooden coloring cases have been found to have lead in the black watercolor paints and the printed ink on the packaging also contained traces of lead. The Imaginarium Wooden Coloring Case is a 213-item set which contains crayons, pastels, colored pencils, fiber pens, water colors, a palette and other art supplies in a wooden carrying case. They retailed for about $20 and were made for Funtastic by Danxiang International Trading in Ningbo, China.

Toys "R" Us already sold about 8,300 of the art kits nationwide from October 2006 through this month, the company announced. "Toys 'R' Us has terminated its relationship with Funtastic (the Chinese supplier), effective immediately," the company said in a press release. "Toys 'R' Us will continue to hold all manufacturers accountable for meeting our safety standards and will take immediate and decisive action on any items we consider remotely questionable from a safety perspective," the company said.

The recalled product passed the safety test earlier this year, but failed the latest test. No injuries were reported from the Imaginarium coloring cases. Customers have to return the cases and they will receive store credit.

Toys 'R' Us also pulled 160,000 Chinese vinyl baby bibs this month which were made by Hamco Inc. and other vendors because some contained too much lead. The company was founded in 1948 by Charles Lazarus as "Children’s Supermart" and later "Children's Bargain Town USA".
