( WJET/WFXP )– Pennsylvania health officials are warning parents and caretakers across the Commonwealth about a play garden set with parts containing lead levels above federal limits.

Recalls were officially issued for the Stanley Jr. Kids Wheelbarrow and 7-piece Garden Sets model number 1662178 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Sep. 12.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health said the paint on the hoe and rake exceeded the federal content ban on lead and estimates 459,200 sets have been sold between January and June of this year at Costco both online and in person.

Anyone who purchased the set is advised to immediately stop using the hoe and rake in the garden set.

“Lead can be harmful if ingested, especially for a young child,” said Secretary of Health Dr. Debra Bogen. “Parents and caregivers should not have to worry about their children’s toys making them sick. We want to get the recall message out to help protect and prevent potential harm to children. Product recalls like this are another example of why all young children should be routinely screened for lead exposure.”

The wheelbarrow has a white label on the bottom labeled “Red Toolbox” and a manufacturing date of December 2023. The recalled hoe and rake have a yellow-painted long wooden handle with the words “Stanley Jr.” painted in black. The hoe and rake are black-painted metal.
