  Rawlings Sporting Goods Co. Inc. has voluntarily recalled about 2,300 of its junior batting helmets, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced Tuesday. Surface paint on the Chinese-made helmets contains excessive levels of lead, violating the federal lead paint standard.
  The recall involves junior batting helmets with model number CFHLJR; the model number can be found on the rear of the helmet. The helmets come in yellow and orange with black accents.
  The recalled model was sold by sporting goods retailers nationwide from July 2007 through November 2007 for about $40.
