CPSC
The CPSC and Provo Craft, of Spanish Fork, Utah are recalling about 76,000 Decorative Snaps and Metal Clips which were sold at scrapbook stores and craft retailers nationwide from August 2005 through October 2006 for about $6, because 'the recalled clips and snaps contain high levels of lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.'

According to the CPSC recall alert, 'the recall involves the "Rob and Bob Studio Clip-Ease" metal clips with model numbers 28-1084, 28-1085 and 28-1086 and the "Rob and Bob Studio Snap-Ease" snaps with model number 28-1080. The product name and model number can be found on the packaging.'

Consumers should stop using the recalled Decorative Snaps and Metal Clips and can contact Provo Craft at (800) 955-9490 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. MT, Monday through Friday or visit the firm's Web site at www.recall.provocraft.com for information on getting a refund.
