About 580 BigBox Hockey Sets, which were imported by Sportime of Norcross, Georgia, have been recalled, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) just announced.

The surface coating on the boards, which are assembled together to form the floor hockey playing field, contain excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard. To date, no incidents or injuries have been reported; however, the effects of lead exposure and lead poisoning are not always immediately apparent.
