Cost Plus Inc., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, has issued a voluntary recall this week of their Moroccan tea glasses.
The recall affects about 14,000 units sold by the Oakland-based distributor. According to the announcement, the tea glass exterior coloring contains excessive levels of lead.
Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects even in small amounts.
Consumers are advised to stop using the tea glasses and to return them to any Cost Plus or World Market store for a full refund.
