If your kids’ school has bought any magnet kits in the last ten or eleven years chances are they have massive amounts of lead in them. The manufacturer is Illinois-based, United Scientific. The magnet are manufactured in India and the recall is quite large as you can imagine. The number of magnet kits in question are 2.35 million strong and I would venture to guess that number is just a projection.

Contact your school administrator and have them check the model numbers. The model numbers are located on the magnets packaging. Only painted magnets are included in this recall. The photos above only represent a few different type of kits in the recall. To date there are eleven kits under this recall.
