White, yellow face paint added to firm's recall list

WASHINGTON - A nationwide recall of children's face paints is being expanded to two additional colors.
The Food and Drug Administration warned consumers last week to stop using six paint colors distributed by Oriental Trading Co. of Omaha after reports of rashes and skin irritations. The products were found to have yeast and mold counts above industry guidelines, FDA said.
Oriental Trading Co. subsidiary Fun Express Inc. said it was adding white, and yellow to the colors already recalled, which were blue, purple, red, orange, black, and green.
The face paints were made in China by Shanghai Color Art Stationery Co. Ltd. Fun Express said the products were distributed to retailers between April 2008 and April 2009.
The two new products being recalled can be identified by item numbers printed on the back of the packaging: White: item No. 85/2338 and Yellow: item No. 85/2339.
Consumers can reach Fun Express at 888-999-0442.
