The recalled items include:
The penalty settlement, which has been provisionally accepted by the Commission, resolves CPSC staff allegations that from November 2007 through August 2008, OKK Trading knowingly imported and sold toys with paints that contained lead levels that exceeded legal limits. In 1978, a federal ban was put in place which prohibited toys and other children's articles from having more than 0.06 percent lead (by weight) in paints or surface coatings. Lead can be toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health consequences.The settlement also covers staff allegations that from May 2007 through December 2007, the company knowingly exported noncompliant toys in violation of federal notification requirements.
When asked to comment, OKK acknowledged that their conduct had not been OKK.

]]>NOT blaming the consumer here, but those are NOT toys I would let my kids play with. They look junky. Like the kind a dad would buy at the convenience store right before picking up the kids for "his" weekend.
]]>Big difference.
