Description
The "Old Century Dread Pirate™" coffee table game has many playing pieces illustrating pirates, ships, coins, and treasure. This recall covers all games with lot numbers 75, 79, and 81. The lot numbers are on the bottom of the "treasure chest."
Hazard
The surface coating and the metal in the ships contain lead and pose a risk of lead poisoning to young children. A child could ingest lead by swallowing a broken part of the ship or by repeatedly mouthing the ships.
Remedy
Take the recalled "Dread Pirate" ships away from children immediately and call Front Porch for free replacement toy ships that do not contain lead and will not break.
Incidents and injuries
None reported.
