Character Lapel Pin Recall Information
The following information applies to certain character lapel pins sold at Nintendo's two company-owned and operated stores, and given away as promotional items to business associates who are employed by retailers where Nintendo products are sold. The lapel pins that are the subject of the recall feature specific Nintendo characters and measure approximately 1/2 inch to 2 inches per side. Nintendo is recalling the pins, which it purchased from an outside supplier, because they contain lead in excess of levels permitted by U.S. government regulations concerning toys and children's products.
Nintendo began selling and distributing these pins in April 2004, and stopped selling and distributing them in November 2007.
THESE LAPEL PINS WERE SOLD ONLY AT THE TWO STORES LISTED BELOW. NO OTHER RETAIL STORE EVER SOLD THESE LAPEL PINS. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT OTHER RETAILERS WITH QUESTIONS CONCERNING THESE LAPEL PINS.
