White, yellow face paint added to firm's recall list

By Associated Press | May 23, 2009

WASHINGTON - A nationwide recall of children's face paints is being

expanded to two additional colors.

The Food and Drug Administration warned consumers last week to stop

using six paint colors distributed by Oriental Trading Co. of Omaha

after reports of rashes and skin irritations. The products were found

to have yeast and mold counts above industry guidelines, FDA said.

Oriental Trading Co. subsidiary Fun Express Inc. said it was adding

white, and yellow to the colors already recalled, which were blue,

purple, red, orange, black, and green.

The face paints were made in China by Shanghai Color Art Stationery

Co. Ltd. Fun Express said the products were distributed to retailers

between April 2008 and April 2009.

The two new products being recalled can be identified by item numbers

printed on the back of the packaging: White: item No. 85/2338 and

Yellow: item No. 85/2339.

Consumers can reach Fun Express at 888-999-0442.
