Lead paint concerns on the chalkboards of 10,000 children's art easels causes a recall of the product, UPI reports.

The Young Artist Easels, imported from China, were sold at art supply stores nationwide.

Consumers should take these recalled items from children immediately and contact the manufacturer, MacPherson's, for  a replacement.

For additional information, contact MacPherson’s at (866) 319-5335 or visit the firm’s Web site at www.art-alternatives.com/recall or send email to recall@macphersonart.com.

After news broke last year of unsafe lead levels in children's toys, a federal law now bans lead in small amounts for products aimed at kids under 12.

Lead poisoning is linked to behavioral problems and learning disorders.
