The recall was announced on Oct. 2 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The tens of thousands of Surprise Eggs were sold nationwide earlier this year. The gold-colored eggs, wrapped in yellow, pink, or green foil, contain seven small toys, including the airplane linked to the safety violation.
The agency stated that testing revealed the airplane far exceeded the federal lead content ban. “Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues,” the recall notice stated. Consumers are urged to stop using the eggs and toys immediately.
No injuries or illnesses have been reported, according to the CPSC.
In Motion Design is offering refunds to customers who destroy the airplane toy and provide proof to the company.
“Consumers should destroy the toy airplane, send a photo of the destroyed airplane to [email protected], and then dispose of the airplane in accordance with local and state laws,” states the recall notice.
The Surprise Eggs were sold for around $10 each between March and April 2025 at 7-Eleven, Horizon, Speedway, and Murphy stores nationwide. The importer, In Motion Design Inc. of Paramount, California, said the products were manufactured in China.
Health officials state that there is no safe level of lead exposure for children. The toxic metal, once widely used in paint and gasoline, has been banned from consumer products.
