According to the CPSC, components of the nets and army toys, manufactured in China and imported by Juvo Plus of Monrovia, California, contain certain phthalates and lead that exceed federal standards, both are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause health problems.

The recall affects about 22,500 butterfly net sets and 4,500 action figure playsets.Juvo Plus recently recalled Butterfly Net Sets and Army Action Figure Playsets due to violations of federal phthalates and lead content bans.Juvo Plus recently recalled Butterfly Net Sets and Army Action Figure Playsets due to violations of federal phthalates and lead content bans.CPSC
