Why Lead Paint Is Serious

Lead is a toxic metal that poses significant health risks to children, particularly those under 6. Even low levels of lead exposure can cause lasting developmental harm, including reduced IQ, learning difficulties, behavioral issues, and impaired hearing. There is no safe level of lead for children. Federal law has prohibited lead paint in consumer products since 1978, and the CPSC enforces the standard rigorously through testing and recall actions when violations are found.

Busy boards โ€” also called activity boards or sensory boards โ€” are popular with parents of toddlers and preschool-age children because they encourage fine motor development. Many are made with wood and painted components, which is why they fall under lead paint standards.

How to Check If You Have the Recalled Product

The recalled product is sold under the brand name Lontcs and was available on Amazon. The seller is listed as SQT (the full registered name is a Chinese company operating under the SQT LLC designation). If you purchased a wooden activity or busy board from Amazon between May 2024 and July 2026 at around $31 and it was listed as Lontcs brand, you likely have the recalled product. If you're unsure, check your Amazon order history for that time frame and compare the product name and description against the CPSC recall page.

What to Do

Stop using the board immediately. To dispose of it safely: unscrew and remove all components from the board, write "RECALLED" in permanent marker on the board itself, and take a photo of the destroyed product. Send the photo to Lontcs@163.com โ€” the manufacturer's recall email โ€” to receive a full refund. You should not need to ship the product back.

The full recall listing is on CPSC.gov. Search for "SQT Recalls Lontcs Busy Boards" to find the complete product description and recall contact information.

What's Next

Lead paint violations in toys imported from overseas remain a recurring CPSC enforcement area. If your family purchases wooden educational toys or activity boards from Amazon, it's worth checking those products against the CPSC recall database, particularly if they were purchased from smaller third-party sellers. The CPSC offers a free recall alert subscription at cpsc.gov/Recalls โ€” a practical tool for Colorado Springs families who want to stay informed without actively monitoring multiple recall pages.
