Product
Concept Classification Activity Kits and "Opposites Take-Home Pack" educational games | In the Concept Classification Activity Kit, each game has various disks that say, "Hot," "Cold," "Light," "Heavy," etc. Children then match the appropriate game piece to the disk that best describes the characteristics of the object. One of the objects is a silver-covered metal weight, shaped like a disc measuring about 1-1/4 inches in diameter with a small loop at the top. Imprinted on one side of the disc is the partial face of a bird and the number "4"; and on the other side, it states, "4 Woody Gardena." In the Opposites Take-Home Pack, a transparent backpack with blue trimming, games include opposite picture cards, crayons, paperback book, and various objects.
Reason
Metal weights found in the games contain lead, which presents a lead poisoning hazard to children. Lead poisoning in children is associated with behavioral problems, learning disabilities, hearing problems and growth retardation.
