Wheelbarrow set recalled for lead

Sep. 19—MOSES LAKE — The Grant County Health District released a press release on the recall for Stanley Jr. Kids wheelbarrow and seven-piece garden sets, sold at Costco Wholesale stores nationwide. The set includes a wheelbarrow, apron, gloves, rake, how and hand tools. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the painted long hoe and rake of the recalled garden set contain levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint ban, posing a threat to children and could cause adverse health issues.

The wheelbarrow has a white label on the bottom that states "Red Toolbox" with a manufacturing date of December 2023. The recalled long hoe and rake have a yellow-painted long wooden handle with wods "Stanley Jr." painted in black. Only the long hoe and rake in the set are included in this recall.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled the item Sept. 12 and recommended that the item be replaced by contacting Red Toolbox for a free replacement, for it is not safe for children to use. There are around 459,200 units in the United States and another 60,480 units in Canada.
