Thousands of rubber children's toys are being recalled because they have lead paint that exceeds federal levels and could be toxic to children.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the recall involves some 31,200 rubber critter toys sold in various colors and animal shapes including octopus, alligators, fish, chickens, frogs, pigs, penguins and cows. The paint colors that have the lead concern are orange and yellow.
They were sold both individually and in sets of two to 24. The toys are mainly used for physical education tossing games.
