The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently issued a recall of Tinker Bell lamps, fish coin banks, “BabyTown” pacifiers and InStep “Pathfinder,” Schwinn “Run About,” and Mongoose “Alley Cat” trailer bicycles due to a lead paint, choking, or fall hazard.

eBay takes recalled items very seriously, and we work closely with the Consumer Product Safety Commission on these issues. We encourage buyers and sellers to visit http://www.cpsc.gov (See the Recent Recalls section) for more details about the products and model numbers included in this recall. You may also wish to visit our Recalled Items policy at http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/recalled.html

For Sellers: Please check your product model numbers and refrain from listing any items that are part of this recall. Any currently listed items that are included in the recall should be ended.

For Buyers: If you believe an item you are interested in bidding on or purchasing may be part of this recall, we encourage you to use the Ask Seller a Question feature to verify.

As a service to our Community, eBay announces some product recalls, like these, when we believe the marketplace will be impacted. To stay informed about all CPSC recalls, please bookmark www.cpsc.gov [http://www.cpsc.gov/] and sign up to receive notices on new recalls issued by the CPSC.
