Children's craft buttons recalled over high lead levels
NEW YORK -- There's a major recall of children's craft buttons because they contain high levels of lead.
The buttons by Dixon Ticonderoga were sold in a 1-pound clear plastic bag with a cardboard label that says "Creativity Street" and "Assorted Craft Buttons."
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says levels of lead in the buttons exceed the federal content ban.
They were sold at Blick Art Materials, which has at least six locations in New York City, and Staples stores nationwide.
Consumers should stop using the buttons and contact Dixon Ticonderoga for a refund.
