🚨 TOY RECALL ALERT: Please Check Your Toy Boxes! 🚨

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a product recall for Lontcs Busy Board toys due to toxic lead poisoning hazards.

The brown zipper component on these busy boards contains levels of lead that violate the federal lead paint ban. Lead is highly toxic if ingested by young children and can cause serious health and developmental issues.

Product Details:
• Name: Lontcs Busy Board
• Description: A wooden activity board with a metal handle, featuring multiple components like a brown zipper, a black plastic buckle, a white doorbell, keys with a lock, a music box, and a white fidget spinner.

What you should do immediately:
1. Stop using the toy and take it away from children right away.
2. Contact the manufacturer (SQT) by emailing [email protected] to request a full refund.
3. You will be asked to safely destroy the toy (by unscrewing components and writing "RECALLED" in marker on the board) and email them a photo to confirm your refund.

As the crisp fall air rolls in, you aren't the only one trying to stay cozy!

As temperatures drop, little rodents like mice start scouting for a warm place to spend the winter. Because they can squeeze through gaps as tiny as a dime, your home can quickly become prime real estate for these uninvited guests. 🐭❌

Don't wait until you hear scratching in the walls! Protect your home with these prevention and removal tips:
- Seal the gaps: Check your foundation, vents, and doors for any openings and seal them up with steel wool or caulk to block their entry points.
- Set traps strategically: Place snap traps or humane catch-and-release traps along walls and behind furniture where mice naturally travel. Use high-reward bait like peanut butter or hazelnut spread.
- Use natural deterrents: Mice dislike strong scents. Place cotton balls soaked in pure peppermint oil around entryways to discourage them from coming near.
- Secure your snacks: Store pantry items, pet food, and birdseed in airtight plastic or glass containers to cut off their food supply.

Keep the cozy vibes inside and the critters outside this fall!
