Green Tones Monkey Glockenspiel

Product description

The Green Tones 8-note Monkey Glockenspiel is a children’s musical instrument with eight metal bars in multiple colors mounted on a wooden base shaped like a monkey. The bars are individually attached to the base with one screw at each end. The second bar from the top is pink, 3.5 inches long and has a “B” stamped on it. This is the bar that needs to be replaced. The Green Tones logo is stamped on the back of the glockenspiel and the tracking number HS0178410914 is printed in black at the bottom.

Hazard identified

The paint on the pink metal note bar of the glockenspiel contains lead in excess of the allowable limit. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
