Highsmith Confirms High Lead Content in Toys
After additional testing, Highsmith has found the lead content of the Bendable Cat and Dog toys sold to public libraries through the Collaborative Summer Library Program exceeds the maximum allowable limit under current federal regulations. Highsmith has discontinued sale of this item and recommends all libraries cease distribution of any remaining Bendable Cats and Dogs in their possession.
OLC will send more information about Highsmith's recall process to library directors when it becomes available and is verified by Highsmith. Any questions should be directed to Lynda Murray, OLC Director of Government and Legal Services, or Mackenzie Betts, OLC Director of Communications (614) 416-2258.
