Department of Consumer Protection Product Safety Inspectors are conducting recall effectiveness checks in response to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commissions voluntary recall of Childrens Storage Bins, due to excessive levels of lead. This product was manufactured in Taiwan by Magus Industry Co. Ltd., and imported by L G Sourcing, Inc., of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

The Childrens Storage Bins, were sold nationwide at Lowes retail outlets for approximately $6.00, from March 2007 through February 2008. The pastel green or pink bins are wood with scalloped edges. No other colors are involved in this recall. The recalled Item Numbers are as follows: #226782 (pastel green) or #226781 (pink). The Item Numbers are located on the bottom of the storage bin.

Consumer Protection Commissioner Jerry Farrell, Jr., recommends consumers check their childrens belongings for this product and if found, immediately remove from their possession and return the storage bin to any Lowes store for a full refund. Although no injuries/incidents have been reported, the potential for lead exposure is high. For additional information, please contact L G Sourcing any time, toll free (866) 493-6563 or visit website at www.lowes.com.
