Stanley Jr. Kids Wheelbarrow and 7-Piece Garden Set Recalled Over Lead Hazard in Long Hoe and Rake, Sold Exclusively at Costco for About $35
The City of Bridgeport issued a health alert on November 14 saying the long hoe and rake in the Stanley Jr. Kids Wheelbarrow and 7-Piece Garden Set have been recalled due to a lead poisoning hazard. The set, sold at Costco, includes a wheelbarrow, apron, gloves, rake, hoe and hand tools.
The recalled hoe and rake have yellow wooden handles with 'Stanley Jr.' printed on them in black, and their metal parts are painted black, the alert said. Only these two tools are included in the recall, not the entire set. No injuries had been linked to the recall at the time of the alert.
The set was sold exclusively at Costco stores and on Costco's website between February 2024 and June 2024, priced at about $35. Owners are asked to stop using the long hoe and rake right away and to obtain free replacements through the Red Toolbox recall website, submitting a form and uploading pictures showing the recalled items have been thrown away, together with the white label on the bottom of the wheelbarrow showing a manufacturing date of December 2023. The alert points readers to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website for further statements.
