A new product recall from the Consumer Product Safety Commission: Harry Potter bookends (see photo).

The CPSC says "the paint on the bookends contains excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard."

No injuries have been reported.

According to the CPSC, the bookends were sold in "elementary school fundraising programs, discount and dollar stores nationwide from June 2004 through January 2006 for between $3 and $28."
