New York is alleging that the retailers and their vendor violated laws “related to selling hazardous toys, as well as deceptive acts and false advertising — by importing, distributing, selling, or holding for sale thousands of Cra-Z-Jewelz kits in New York between 2015 and 2016.” The suit seeks civil penalties from them, along with the assurance that they won’t “again sell children’s toys containing high levels of lead in New York.”
“No parent should have to worry that their child’s toy may be toxic. As we allege, these companies imported and sold toys with dangerous levels of toxic lead — jeopardizing the health of New York’s children and breaking the law,” Underwood said in a statement.
