TheKiddoSpace Recalls Children's Fingerpainting Kits Due to Hazardous Substances and Phthalate Exposure

What Happened

TheKiddoSpace has issued a recall for its children’s fingerpainting kits because they contain hazardous substances, including methanol and ethylene glycol, which violate the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Additionally, the kits contain regulated phthalates, violating the federal phthalate ban. These substances are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

Which Products Are Affected

The recall involves approximately 9,400 KiddoSpace-branded fingerpainting kits. The kits consist of a round paint palette with 12, 25, or 36 colors and one or more coloring books containing between 14 and 40 pages. The products are packaged in a light-blue box featuring the KiddoSpace logo, the text “Finger Painting Kit,” an image of a child with painted hands, and the color quantity.

These kits were sold online at TheKiddoSpaceStore.com and Amazon.com from June 2023 through February 2025 for prices ranging between $20 and $30.

What You Should Do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fingerpainting kits and keep them away from children. Consumers should contact TheKiddoSpace to receive a refund.

Why This Matters

The presence of methanol, ethylene glycol, and phthalates in products intended for children under 12 poses a significant health risk. The company has received 18 reports worldwide, including one in the United States, of strong paint odors, skin irritation, and swollen lymph nodes associated with the product.
