Target is recalling about 105,000 Children's' belts under an agreement with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The voluntary recall is a result of excessive levels of lead in the buckles, violating the federal lead-paint standard, according to a joint release.

The belts—for boys and girls—were manufactured in China and sold through Target stores nationwide from December 2008 through December 2009 for $7-$9.

No injuries have been reported, but the CPSC and the retailer urge consumers to stop using the belts immediately and return them to a Target store for a full refund.
