The short answer

Announced by CPSC on Aug 28, 2007. Copied from CPSC on Oct 19, 2026.

Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

The beak of the watering can contains lead in the paint, which violates the federal law prohibiting lead paint on children’s toys. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

Consumers should immediately take the watering can away from children and return it to any Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store for a full refund.
