Text

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Super Luchamania Action Figures due to excessive levels of lead paint.

The wrestler action figures were imported from Mexico by Lee Carter Co. of San Francisco.

About 7,000 packs of action figures were sold nationwide and Mexican specialty craft stores from June 2000 through October 2011 for between $12 and $14 per pack.

The plastic figures depict professional wrestlers with plastic capes. They measure about four inches tall. "Super Luchamania" is printed on the action figures' packaging.

Consumers were advised to take the action figures away from children and return them to Lee Carter Co. for a full refund or credit towards a replacement product.

Consumer can call 415-824-2004 for information.
