People told to destroy toys sold nationwide due to lead risk: CPSC

TOPEKA (KSNT) – Federal officials are encouraging people to destroy a toy distributed nationwide as it contains dangerous levels of lead.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported on Oct. 2 that In Motion Design is recalling 98,350 of its “Evermore Surprise Eggs” made in China as they contain levels of lead that exceed the federal lead content ban. Specifically, the toy airplanes contained within the eggs pose a threat to children as lead is toxic to them if ingested and can cause health issues.

The CPSC reports the recall includes Evermore Surprise Eggs with yellow, pink or green wrap. The eggs are gold and contain seven different toys, including a toy airplane.

People are encouraged to stop using these eggs immediately and contact In Motion Design for a refund. The CPSC said people who purchased the eggs should destroy the toy airplanes and send a photo of the destroyed products to support@in-motion-design.com. Customers should throw the toys away in accordance with local and state laws.

The CPSC reports the recalled eggs were sold at 7-Eleven, Horizon, Speedway and Murphy stores nationwide from March 2025 through to April 2025 for around $10. No injuries or incidents have been reported yet in connection to this recall.

The Environment Protection Agency reports that lead is dangerous to young children as their bodies can absorb more lead than adults, causing damage to their brains and nervous systems. The EPA keeps a list of laws and regulations regarding lead on its website, which can be found by clicking here.

People can contact In Motion Design at 888-727-2476 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday. You can learn more about the recall by heading to the company’s website by clicking here.
