WASHINGTON, D.C. - About 38,000 Cranium Cadoo board games, imported by Cranium Inc. and made in China, are being recalled because the surface paint on the die contains high levels of lead, which is toxic if ingested by children.

No injuries or incidents have been reported.

The recall includes board games with lot numbers 2007195 through 2007244.

The games were sold at Fred Meyer, Kmart, ShopKo, Wal-Mart and specialty game stores nationwide between October 2007 through this month.

Consumers can get details by phone at (877) 272-6486, online at the Cranium Web site or online at the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Web site.
