The Lil Anglers Fishing Rods were sold as part of the Kid Casters No Tangle Combo, which includes a rod and reel combo, plastic casting plug, bobber and snap swivel. The rods contain excessive lead, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission

The toys, which come in several colors, were sold at Academy Sports and Outdoors, Bass Pro Shops, Dick’s Sporting Goods and other sporting goods stores, as well as on Amazon.com and Lil Anglers’ website between January of 2021 and March of 2023.
