WASHINGTON SQT is recalling Lontcs Busy Boards because a zipper on the toys contains lead levels that exceed federal limits, posing a serious poisoning risk to young children. The recall was announced Sept. 10, 2026.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, lead is toxic if ingested by children and can cause adverse health effects. The affected toys violate the federal ban on lead containing paint and similar surface coatings.
The notice did not provide details about the number of products involved, sales locations, product identification numbers or any reported injuries. Families and caregivers who have the toys should keep them away from children and stop using them immediately.
Consumers should contact SQT for information about obtaining a refund or replacement. The company’s notice did not list additional contact information in the recall details provided.
Parents and caregivers should check busy boards in homes, classrooms and child care settings, particularly those used by young children who may touch or mouth the zipper. Lead exposure can occur when a child ingests contaminated material.
