I've put in a call to Provo Craft a couple of minutes ago to find out if you should also take any product you've used out of your albums and return them. I'll let you know what they have to say as soon as I hear. I'm sure that they are overwhelmed with calls. Please note that this is a voluntary recall. They have not heard of any incidents, but then lead poisoning doesn't happen overnight. M-C

I just spoke with a nice lady at Provo Craft by the name of Kathy Davis. She says that their primary concern is protecting their consumer. So... if you have used this product on a page, you should definitely take it off. You do not have to have the packaging or every single item that came in the package to send it back in and get a refund. They just want to make sure that you feel comfortable and send it back in for a full refund.

Just make sure that you go to the website and fill in the required documentation or call the hotline before you send anything in.

Please do let me know if you have any other questions, and I'll be happy to call her back for the answer.
