WASHINGTON, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Dollar Tree Stores Inc <DLTR.O> recalled 300,000 baby bead toys and toy cars made in China because they contain excessive levels of lead, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Thursday.

The recalled baby toy has colored beads that slide on a wooden platform while the recalled Speed Racer Pull Back & Go cars are yellow with black stripes and white with red stripes, the government agency said in a statement.

The baby bead toys were sold nationwide from March 2007 through October 2007 while the cars were sold from September 2007 through November 2007, it said. (Reporting by Julie Vorman, editing by Gerald E. McCormick)
