The New York Department of State’s Division of Consumer Protection is urging the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue a recall of the MAXX Action Helicopter toy, and for Dollar General stores to remove the toy from its shelves immediately. Research and testing found the black window coating of this toy car contains 1.7 times the allowable paint and surface coating lead level established by the federal Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. The Division is also seeking to warn holiday shopping consumers about the health hazards the lead paint found on the MAXX Action Helicopter presents to children.
