American Greetings Corp. Recalls Confetti Bursts

American Greetings Corp., of Cleveland, Ohio has recalled 60,000 DesignWare® Confetti Bursts. The surface paint on the individual bags of confetti contains excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.

The recalled products contain confetti in plastic bags. When the bags are inflated, consumers squeeze the bag and confetti bursts out. Each package contains six confetti bursts. The items were sold at discount, toy, drug, grocery, party, and specialty/gift stores nationwide from December 2003 through September 2007 for about $3.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled confetti bursts away from children and contact American Greetings for instructions on returning the confetti bursts to American Greetings to receive a coupon redeemable wherever American Greetings’ products are sold.
