Associated PressWASHINGTON — An Ohio importer recalled nearly 250,000 SpongeBob SquarePants address books and journals manufactured in China because the bindings might contain hazardous levels of lead paint, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.
Martin Designs Inc. notified the agency that tests of the metal spiral bindings turned up lead content above the level considered safe for children, the CPSC said. Under regulations, children's products found to have more than .06 percent lead accessible to users are subject to a recall.
Children who ingest lead-laced paint can suffer brain damage. The company said it has received no reports of injury.
The recall involves address books and journals sold in retail stores nationwide from June 2006 through July 2007. They have a black metal spiral binding and depict the SpongeBob SquarePants character in various outfits on the front cover.
The recalled address books' UPC code, printed on the back cover, is 80773007505; the recalled journals have the UPC codes 80773002260, 80773075501 and 80773007551.
Consumers should dispose of the product and return the UPC code for a full refund to Martin Designs, Attention: Product Recall, 605 Westlake Dr., Ashland OH 44805.
For more information, consumers can call the company at 1-866-898-0261 or visit its Web site.

This is a reply to # 948,096Mercury and lead in coffee mugs:
Look at the bottom of you coffee mug - they are all made in China unless you got a local crafter's mug, but anything under $5 is made in China. I sure cannot find a mug thats not made in China.
I bet a lot of those "Made in China" labels and tags are being peeled off right now, after all these warnings and recalls on Chinese goods. They might replace it with a fake one , but they can get fined for that [ha ha ha ha ha ha - by WHO? government regulaters? Not a chance].
The ceramics type goods have mercury and lead content. Thats a given when they come from China - there is mercury and lead everywhere, but especially in the ground, the clay, the sand.And therefore, your coffee mug.
When the stirring wears out the coating on the mug, we start to get the bad stuff. Those black streaks on the inside bottom of a used mug are not always a sign of lead, but often they are. Sometimes we just can't see it, but its there. Buy new ones every month to protect yourself. Lots of mercury can escape a coffee mug, due to heating and scraping and slurping.
We have seen everything from diapers and clothes to toothpaste and dog food contaminated by the Chinese capitalists [producers]. There has been no warning about coffee mugs, I am offering this one up by myself, but I have heard of the idea from others. I just know it is true, I have been avoiding Chinese coffee mugs for years now because I remembered that warning, but I still have them here, I use them for want of another type. I better spend the big bucks on a crafters mug for the locals.
