More children's items made in China have been recalled because they contain high levels of lead.

The largest recall affects about 250,000 SpongeBob SquarePants address books and journals, manufactured in China and imported by Martin Designs. They have been recalled because paint on the metal spiral bindings can contain high levels of lead.

About 66,000 spinning tops and about 4,700 pails painted with Thomas & Friends, Curious George, circus scenes or solid colors have also been recalled because paint on the wooden handles contains high levels of lead.

About 14,000 TOBY & ME jewelry sets, and about 7,900 Children's Divine Inspiration Charm Bracelets have also been recalled.

No injuries have been reported.
