Floppy Friends Horse Toys recalled

Washington -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Floppy Friends Horse Toys due to lead paint used on the toys.

The toys have a button under the base that, when depressed, causes the horse to flop over on its side.

No injuries have been reported but 300 of the toys, imported from China by Toy Investments Inc. of Auburn, Wash., were sold at various retail outlets from February 2008 through April 2008 for about $4.

Consumers were advised to take the toys from children and return them to the outlet for a full refund.

Consumers can also call Toy Investments Inc. at 800-356-0474 for more information.
