WASHINGTON - MindWare is recalling its Animal Tracking Explorer Kit because it contains a chemical that irritates skin and eyes.
About 2,200 units are included in the recall.
The powder in the kit marked “plaster of paris” is actually calcium hydroxide, which poses a risk of skin and eye irritation to children using the product.
In addition to the powder, the recalled “Animal Tracking Explorer Kit” includes nature study tools and equipment (field lens, specimen jars and bags, labels, puff bottle, plastic gloves, spatula, cardboard strips, paper clips, mixing pot, tweezers, spoon, notebook) and Explorer Guide.
The kits were sold by the firm's Web site and by MindWare’s catalog from September 2007 through December 2007 for about $25.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled explorer kit away from children and contact MindWare to receive either a free replacement product or for a full refund.
For additional information, contact MindWare at (800) 588-1072.
