About 14,000 Casper the Friendly Ghost Halloween mini-figurines, manufactured in China and imported by Coyne's & Company Inc., have been recalled because the paint contains high levels of lead, which is toxic if ingested by young children.

The figurines were sold in mini bags decorated with a spider and web design. The Casper the Friendly Ghost figurines are dressed as: Dracula in a red spider bag, Skeleton in a green spider bag, Devil in a purple spider bag, Mummy in an orange spider bag, Casper in a blue spider bag, and Wendy the Witch is in a yellow spider bag.

The figurines are stamped with TM & Harvey Ent. "Coyne's & Company" and CP1030 are printed on a white sticker on the bottom of the bags.

No injuries have been reported. The figurines were sold by gift, specialty, card, and drug stores around the country between June 2005 and September 2008.
