Sept. 28, 2012—Dillon Importing recalled Captain Cutlass pirate toy gun, because the surface paints on the pirate toy pistols contain excessive levels of lead, which is a violation of a federal paint standard.

This recall involves Captain Cutlass Pirate Pistol toys that have a brown plastic grip, a black metallic stock and barrel, and a muzzle that has an orange cap. A skull-and-crossbones motif is engraved on the grip.

The recalled product was sold at Halloween-costume and specialty stores nationwide from April 2008 through May 2012. No injuries were reported. Consumers should take the recalled toy away from children and contact Dillon Importing for instructions on returning the product for a full refund.
