Dollar General Recall Children’s Sunglasses due to Lead Paint Print Email
Nov. 9th, 2007 - The latest product to be recalled are the Children’s Fashion Sunglasses by Dolgencorp Inc., of Goodlettsville, Tenn. It is reported that about 51,000 units have been recalled with the U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission announcing that consumers stop using the recalled products immediately.

Yet again, these children’s sunglasses are being recalled due to high levels of lead in the yellow surface paint on the glasses. No other colours are effected in the recall. To see if your sunglasses are effected, check to see if the word CHINA is printed on the left side of the frame and the UPC #400007860896 and words “Fashion Sunglasses” and “Time to Play Every Day” are printed on the red hangtag.

The glasses were sold at Dollar General stores nationwide from March 25 through to October 2007. If your child has a pair of the recalled sunglasses, take them from your child immediately and return them to a Dollar General store for a full refund.
