About 13,000 camouflage eggs and spinning egg top toys, imported by Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. and made in China, are being recalled because the paint on the toys contains high levels of lead, which is toxic if ingested by children.

No injuries or incidents have been reported.

The recalled products include the Camouflage Easter Egg Treat Containers, with the item No. 1031, and the Easter Spinning Egg Tops, with the item No. 1054.

They were sold at Hobby Lobby Stores nationwide from January 2008 through this month. For more information, visit HobbyLobby.com or CPSC.gov.
