Brine recalls youth gloves
by PR Wire Report/
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation with Brine, has announced a voluntary recall of Youth and Adult Brine VIP Lacrosse Gloves.
Consumers have been advised to stop using the products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
At issue is the screen printing ink used on the silver logo on the back of the glove, which contains excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.
The recall includes black and white Brine VIP lacrosse gloves sold in three sizes: 10, 12, and 13 inches. The name "Brine" is printed in white, and a silver triad symbol is printed on the back of the glove on the wrist cuff.
The gloves, manufactured in Vietnam, have been sold at sporting goods stores nationwide between July 2009 and June 2010 for about $50.
Consumers should immediately stop using the gloves and contact Brine for a replacement or refund. For additional information, contact Brine toll-free at (888) 542-8834 between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit their web site at http://www.brine.com.
