About 2,880 sets of the rollers were sold online through various retailers like Amazon and Walmart between Sept. 2023 and Jan. 2024 for $15.

The recall involves rollers with model number PAC5170 and lot codes 02142080423 and 02142230523.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health says consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and keep them away from children.

They can also contact Dixon Ticonderoga to receive a pre-paid label to return the product and, when they do, they will receive a full refund.

“Lead can be harmful if ingested, especially for a young child,” said Acting Secretary of Health Dr. Debra Bogen. “Parents and caregivers should not have to worry about their children’s toys making them sick. We want to get the recall message out to help protect and prevent potential harm to children. Product recalls like these are another example of why all children should be routinely screened for lead exposure.”

According to the commission, no injuries have been reported in association with the recall to date.
