Things Fall Apart: Lead-Laden Kid's Gardening Gloves

Posted by Karen Murphy

gardening gloves recallOh, and these were such stunning gloves, too! But sadly they have been recalled. Yes, dear parents, the stylish and utilitarian Troy-Bilt Budding Gardener Complete Gardening Set unfortunately will be lacking its linchpin, its centerpiece, its je ne c'est quoi, after the gardening gloves portion of the set have been recalled because Somebody Forgot To Test the Paint for Lead (shhh! don't tell anyone but I'm sure that either Troy or Bilt is losing his job over this!).

Yes indeed, a whole 80 lucky children may have been the recipient of these magical gloves, and are probably sobbing themselves to sleep right now. Let's just hope they did not lick or otherwise consume or ingest said gloves before their vigilant parents can wrest them from their grubby little grasp. If you or your child is indeed one of the proud owners of these gloves, you will be contacted by Troy and Bilt personally, after which you must take the gloves and yea, I say verily, you must burn them! in a toxic cloud of lead-filled smoke! And then return with a glad heart to your local Troy-Bilt retailer who will cheerfully deliver unto you a very snazzy child-sized gardener's apron.
