Excessive Lead prompts childrens chair/stool recall in Puerto Rico

Elegant Gifts Mart Inc., a  Los-Angeles based importer, is recalling 1,600 folding chairs and 1,300 stools sold in 1 to Seven stores located in Puerto Rico.  The yellow surface coating on the metal tubes of the chair & stool set were found to have elevated levels of lead and therefore are not in compliance with federally mandated lead restrictions.

The back of chair has the word "PENGKO" printed, and the model number "JCA8036" appears on a white sticker on the bottom of the seat. The stool is also sticker underneath with the model number "JCA8037.”

The pieces involved in this recall were sold for about $6 from September 2010 to the end of June 2011.

Consumers should not use the pieces and return them to their local 1 to Seven store for a full refund. In PR, the 1 to Seven stores can be reached via phone at (787) 290-5625.  In lieu of store return, consumers can also contact Elegant Gifts Mart directly at (323) 698-6805.
