Crayons From China Recalled: Federal regulators said yellow and orange crayons imported from China by Los Angeles-based Concord Enterprises were being recalled because they contain hazardous amounts of lead. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said it tested the crayons and found too much lead in those two colors. “Throw these crayons in the trash can or take them back to the store for a refund,” CPSC Chairman Ann Brown said in a statement. The crayons in question are sold in plastic boxes labeled “12 Jumbo Crayons,” “Made in China” and “Non-Toxic.”
