Children's Face Paints Recalled

By Jamie Sheller

Some children's face paints have been recalled after reports of adverse skin reactions, such as itchiness, burning sensation, rashes and swelling in areas where the paint was applied. The recalled paints are cosmetic "Face Paint" items distributed by Oriental Trading Co. of Omaha, Neb. These face paints were primarily distributed to retail stores across the country between April 2008 and April 2009.
