FGX International Recalls Children's
Sunwear due to Lead Paint Fears

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, FGX International has voluntarily recalled certain styles of its children's sunglasses--representing about 25 percent of its children's sunwear line-- following the discovery that some contained lead paint in excess of allowable limits.

FGX said it has received no reports of injury from these products. These styles were distributed in the U.S., Canada and Europe (predominantly in the U.K.). The testing that led to this discovery was voluntarily undertaken by the FGX, according to a company statement.

The statement said FGX estimates the sales of these children's sunglasses will represent less than 1 percent of its total revenue for 2007; the recall does not affect any sunglasses in the company's baby line.
