RC2 Corp. is recalling about 800 Britains Knights of the Sword series toys. Surface paints on the toy knights contain excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.
The three recalled silver knight toys are mounted on red horses sold individually in see-through blister cards. Britains and Knights of the Sword are printed on the top of the card in the packaging. The recalled toys include a mounted silver knight on a red horse with an axe; a mounted silver knight on a red horse with two hands on a raised weapon; and a mounted silver knight on a red horse with a lance.
The toys were sold at specialty toy stores nationwide from April 2004 through March 2006 for about $8. They were made in China.
Consumers should take these recalled toys away from young children immediately and contact RC2 to receive a full refund.
