In cooperation with the FDA, Fun Express, Inc. is expanding its face paint recall from early May to include white and yellow face paint colors. The face paints can cause rashes, skin irritation, and itchiness. The paints, made by Shanghai Color Art Stationary Company Limited, have the words, “Water-Based Face Paint Net Weight 1 Oz (28.3gm) Non-Toxic Made in China” on the tube. The tube is packaged on cardboard backing that is labeled, “Face Paint” on the front, and, “Distributed by Oriental Trading Co., Omaha, NENE 68127″ in the upper right hand corner.
The item number can be found on the back of the package-
85/2338 (White face paint)
85/2339 (Yellow face paint)
The products were distributed primarily to retail stores nationwide between April 2008 and April 2009. If you have the face paint in question, you should immediately discard it.
Consumers can contact Fun Express, Inc. by calling (888) 999-0442 between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm CST, Monday through Friday.
