SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The text of 

the Agreement and Order appears 

below. 

Dated: January 6, 2010. 

Todd A. Stevenson, 

Secretary. 

Settlement Agreement 

1. In accordance with 16 CFR 1118.20, 

RC2 Corporation and the staff (‘‘Staff’’) of 

the United States Consumer Product 

Safety Commission (‘‘CPSC’’ or the 

‘‘Commission’’) enter into this 

Settlement Agreement (‘‘Agreement’’). 

The Agreement and the incorporated 

attached Order (‘‘Order’’) settle the 

Staff’s allegations set forth below. 

Parties 

2. The Commission is an independent 

federal regulatory agency established 

pursuant to, and responsible for the 

enforcement of, the Consumer Product 

Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. 2051—2089 

(‘‘CPSA’’). 

3. RC2 Corporation is a corporation 

organized and existing under the laws of 

the state of Delaware, with principal 

offices located in Oak Brook, Illinois. At 

all times relevant hereto, RC2 

Corporation designed, imported and 

sold toys and children’s products. ‘‘RC2’’ 

as used in this Agreement means RC2 

Corporation and its wholly owned 

subsidiary Learning Curve Brands, Inc. 

and their officers, directors, 

shareholders and employees. 

Staff Allegations 

4. Between January 2005 and April 

2007, RC2 commissioned one of its 

dedicated contract manufacturers, 

Overseas Winner Limited (‘‘OW’’), to 

manufacture in China approximately 

1,506,900 units of various Thomas & 

FriendsTM Wooden Railway toys for sale 

in the United States. The toys consisted 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 6 / Monday, January 11, 2010 / Notices 1357 

of wooden vehicles, buildings and other 

train set components for young 

children, comprising 26 distinct 

component styles packaged in 23 retail 

SKU’s (collectively, the ‘‘TWR Toys’’). 

Between January 2005 and May 2007, 

RC2 imported into the United States 

approximately 1,506,900 units of the 

TWR Toys, and in turn, shipped them 

to its retail and other customers. The 

TWR Toys were sold or offered for sale 

to consumers primarily at toy stores and 

various retailers nationwide, and 

secondarily through RC2’s e-commerce 

websites or as ‘sub-components’ of retail 

items distributed independently of RC2, 

from January 2005 through June 2007, 

for between $10 and $70 per unit. The 

TWR Toys represented approximately 

4% of total wooden railway toy units 

sold by RC2 within the U.S. market. 

5. Between March 2003 and April 

2007, RC2 commissioned OW and 

another of its dedicated contract 

manufacturers, 3i Corporation, Ltd., to 

manufacture in China certain of 5 other 

component styles from Thomas & 

FriendsTM Wooden Railway toys 

product line, comprising approximately 

an additional 200,000 units, for sale in 

the United States (collectively, the 

‘‘Additional TWR Toys’’). Between 

March 2003 and September 2007, RC2 

imported into the United States 

approximately 200,000 units of the 

Additional TWR Toys, and in turn, 

shipped them to its retail and other 

customers. The Additional TWR Toys 

were sold or offered for sale to 

consumers primarily at toy stores and 

various retailers nationwide, and 

secondarily through RC2’s e-commerce 

Web sites or as ‘sub-components’ of 

retail items distributed independently of 

RC2, from March 2003 to September 

2007, for between $10 and $40 per unit. 

6. The TWR Toys and Additional 

TWR Toys (collectively, ‘‘Subject 

Products’’) are ‘‘consumer product(s),’’ 

and, at all times relevant hereto, RC2 

was a ‘‘manufacturer’’ and a ‘‘retailer’’ of 

those consumer products, which were 

‘‘distributed in commerce,’’ as those 

terms are defined in CPSA sections 

3(a)(3), (5), (8), (11) and (13), 15 U.S.C. 

§ 2052(a)(3), (5), (8), (11) and (13). 

7. The Subject Products are articles 

intended to be entrusted to or for use by 

children, and, therefore, are subject to 

the requirements of the Commission’s 

Ban of Lead-Containing Paint and 

Certain Consumer Products Bearing 

Lead-Containing Paint, 16 CFR Part 

1303 (the ‘‘Lead Paint Ban’’). Under the 

Lead Paint Ban, toys and other 

children’s articles must not bear ‘‘leadcontaining paint,’’ defined as paint or 

other surface coating materials whose 

lead content is more than 0.06 percent 

of the weight of the total nonvolatile 

content of the paint or the weight of the 

dried paint film. 16 CFR 1303.2(b)(1) 

8. On March 29, 2007, RC2 was 

notified by one of its U.S. retail 

customers that a TWR Toy supplied by 

RC2, specifically the Thomas & Friends 

Oval Set (Product # LC99561), had 

failed testing that demonstrated its paint 

or other surface coatings contained 

levels of lead in excess of the 

permissible 0.06 percent limit set forth 

in the Lead Paint Ban. The Oval Set 

(Product # LC99561) was produced at 

OW, which was at the time one of two 

contract manufacturers of the Thomas & 

FriendsTM Wooden Railway toys 

product line, both based in China. On 

the same day, RC2 inventory of the Oval 

Set (Product # LC99561) was placed on 

hold and an inventory audit was 

conducted to identify quantities per 

production-date code on hand. An 

internal investigation by RC2, in 

consultation with its contract 

manufacturers and pertinent customers, 

then ensued. It involved extensive 

testing of the Thomas & FriendsTM

Wooden Railway toys product line for 

the presence of lead, including tests 

conducted by independent certified labs 

in China and the U.S. on finished toys 

as well as liquid paints and solvents 

used the manufacturing process. 

9. The internal investigation yielded 

multiple failing test results 

demonstrating that dozens of TWR Toy 

samples bore or contained paint or other 

surface coatings with lead levels in 

excess of the permissible 0.06 percent 

(600 ppm) limit set forth in the Lead 

Paint Ban. Based upon information that 

primarily emerged during this 

investigation period, RC2 determined 

that five PMS (Pantone Matching 

System®) surface paint colors applied to 

certain finished product components 

had failed at least one test for the 

presence of lead in excess of the 

permissible 0.06 percent limit set forth 

in the Lead Paint Ban; a sixth color, 

yellow, had failed testing prior to the 

investigation period and then passed a 

subsequent test, but ultimately was 

included among the non-compliant 

paint colors as a precautionary measure. 

RC2 also determined that all the affected 

units composing the TWR Toys had 

been manufactured by OW rather than 

by RC2’s other Chinese contract 

manufacturer. RC2 cross-referenced 

each of the failing colors with the colors 

of paint used on each toy component, 

thereby identifying 26 distinct 

component styles which used at least 

one of these six colors, and thus 

ascertained the scope of affected models 

and product units comprising the TWR 

Toys for recall purposes. 

10. After RC2 reported this 

information to CPSC, on June 13, 2007, 

the Commission and RC2 announced a 

recall of about 1,500,000 units of the 

TWR Toys because ‘‘Surface paints on 

the recalled products contain lead. Lead 

is toxic if ingested by young children 

and can cause adverse health effects.’’ 

11. Throughout the summer of 2007, 

RC2 and other entities with which it 

does business continued with additional 

testing of items from the Thomas & 

FriendsTM Wooden Railway toys 

product line. By supplemental reports 

submitted to CPSC between August 17 

and September 20, 2007, RC2 reported 

that it had obtained information which 

reasonably supports the conclusion that 

five additional toys from this product 

line have certain specific colors of paint 

applied to them that ‘‘may contain’’ 

levels of lead in excess of the 

permissible 0.06 percent limit set forth 

in the Lead Paint Ban. The continued 

investigation yielded further failing test 

reports demonstrating that additional 

samples bore or contained paint or other 

surface coatings with lead levels in 

excess of the permissible 0.06 percent 

(600 ppm) limit set forth in the Lead 

Paint Ban. In this way, RC2 determined 

the scope of affected models and 

product units comprising the Additional 

TWR Toys for recall purposes. 

12. On September 26, 2007, the 

Commission and RC2 announced that 

the original TWR Toys recall was being 

expanded in order to include about 

200,000 units of the Additional TWR 

Toys because ‘‘Surface paints on the toys 

can contain excessive levels of lead, 

violating the federal lead paint 

standard.’’ 

13. RC2 reportedly severed its 

business relationship with OW 

completely in June 2007, soon after the 

original TWR Toys recall 

announcement. RC2 reportedly already 

had ceased manufacturing any of the 

Thomas & FriendsTM Wooden Railway 

toys at 3i in November 2006. 

14. Although at the time of each of the 

aforementioned recalls RC2 reported no 

incidents or injuries associated with the 

presence of excessive lead in the paint 

or other surface coatings of the Subject 

Products, it subsequently learned of a 

number of allegations of such incidents 

and injuries, some of which became the 

subject of claims and lawsuits against it. 

RC2 failed to take adequate action to 

ensure that the Subject Products 

complied with the Lead Paint Ban. This 

failure created a risk of lead poisoning 

and adverse health effects to children. 

Lead is toxic if ingested by young 

children and can cause adverse health 

effects. 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
1358 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 6 / Monday, January 11, 2010 / Notices 

15. The Subject Products constitute 

‘‘banned hazardous products’’ under 

CPSA section 8 and the Lead Paint Ban, 

15 U.S.C. 2057 and 16 CFR 1303.1(a)(1), 

1303.4(b), in that they bear or contain 

paint or other surface coating materials 

whose lead content exceeds the 

permissible limit of 0.06 percent of the 

weight of the total nonvolatile content 

of the paint or the weight of the dried 

paint film. 

16. Between March 2003 and 

September 2007, RC2 sold, 

manufactured for sale, offered for sale, 

distributed in commerce, or imported 

into the United States, or caused one or 

more of such acts, with respect to the 

Subject Products, in violation of section 

19(a)(1) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 

2068(a)(1). RC2 committed these 

prohibited acts ‘‘knowingly,’’ as that 

term is defined in section 20(d) of the 

CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2069(d). 

17. Pursuant to section 20 of the 

CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2069, RC2 is subject to 

civil penalties for the aforementioned 

violations. 

Responsive Allegations of RC2 

18. RC2 denies that it violated section 

19(a)(1) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 

2068(a)(1), and further denies that it did 

so ‘‘knowingly’’ (as defined in section 

20(d) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2069(d)). 

Agreement of the Parties 

19. Under the CPSA, the Commission 

has jurisdiction over this matter and 

over RC2. 

20. The parties enter into the 

Agreement for settlement purposes only. 

The Agreement does not constitute an 

admission by RC2, or a determination 

by the Commission, that RC2 knowingly 

violated the CPSA. 

21. In settlement of the Staff’s 

allegations, RC2 Corporation shall pay a 

civil penalty in the total amount of One 

Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand 

($1,250,000.00) dollars within twenty 

(20) calendar days of service of the 

Commission’s final Order accepting the 

Agreement. This payment shall be made 

by check payable to the order of the 

United States Treasury. 

22. The Commission will not seek or 

initiate any enforcement action against 

RC2 for civil penalties, based upon 

information known to CPSC through the 

date of final acceptance of this 

Agreement, for possible violations of (i) 

section 19(a)(4) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 

2068(a)(4), regarding CPSC File No. 

RP070347, associated with Releases 

#07–212 and #07–308; (ii) sections 

19(a)(1) and 19(a)(4) of the CPSA, 15 

U.S.C. § 2068(a)(1) and (a)(4), regarding 

CPSC File No. RP070524, associated 

with Release #07–310, and CPSC File 

No. RP070572, associated with Release 

#08–119; and (iii) section 19(a)(4) of the 

CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 068(a)(4), regarding 

CPSC File No. RP080126, associated 

with Release #08–120. The 

Commission’s agreement not to seek 

penalties, as stated herein, will not 

relieve RC2 from the continuing duty to 

report to CPSC any new, additional or 

different information as required by 

CPSA section 15(b), 15 U.S.C. 2064(b) 

and the regulations at 16 CFR Part 1115, 

regarding these matters. 

23. Upon the Commission’s 

provisional acceptance of the 

Agreement, the Agreement shall be 

placed on the public record and 

published in the Federal Register in 

accordance with the procedures set 

forth in 16 CFR 1118.20(e). In 

accordance with 16 CFR 1118.20(f), if 

the Commission does not receive any 

written request not to accept the 

Agreement within fifteen (15) days, the 

Agreement shall be deemed finally 

accepted on the sixteenth (16th) day 

after the date it is published in the 

Federal Register. 

24. Upon the Commission’s final 

acceptance of the Agreement and 

issuance of the final Order, RC2 

knowingly, voluntarily, and completely 

waives any rights it may have in this 

matter to the following: (1) An 

administrative or judicial hearing; (2) 

judicial review or other challenge or 

contest of the validity of the 

Commission’s Order or actions; (3) a 

determination by the Commission of 

whether RC2 failed to comply with the 

CPSA and its underlying regulations; (4) 

a statement of findings of fact and 

conclusions of law; and (5) any claims 

under the Equal Access to Justice Act. 

25. The Commission may publicize 

the terms of the Agreement and Order. 

26. The Agreement and Order shall 

apply to, and be binding upon, RC2 and 

each of its successors and assigns. 

27. The Commission issues the Order 

under the provisions of the CPSA, and 

violation of the Order may subject those 

referenced in paragraph 26 to 

appropriate legal action. 

28. The Agreement may be used in 

interpreting the Order. Understandings, 

agreements, representations, or 

interpretations apart from those 

contained in the Agreement and Order 

may not be used to vary or contradict its 

terms. The Agreement shall not be 

waived, amended, modified, or 

otherwise altered, except in a writing 

that is executed by the party against 

whom such waiver, amendment, 

modification, or alteration is sought to 

be enforced. 

29. If any provision of the Agreement 

and Order is held to be illegal, invalid, 

or unenforceable under present or future 

laws effective during the terms of the 

Agreement and Order, such provision 

shall be fully severable. The balance of 

the Agreement and Order shall remain 

in full force and effect, unless the 

Commission and RC2 agree that 

severing the provision materially affects 

the purpose of the Agreement and 

Order.
