Easter Egg Garlands
WASHINGTON, D.C.- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Tony USA Inc., of Encinitas, Calif., is voluntarily
recalling about 200,000 Easter egg garlands. The string can break and
release the eggs, posing a choking hazard to young children.
CPSC and Tony USA have not received any reports of injuries. This
recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.
The recalled garland is 6-feet long and is made of plastic, egg-shaped
beads. The green, yellow, blue, purple, and red beads are connected
together by a clear, plastic string. Writing on the packaging reads in
part, "Made in China" and "mini 6 Foot Egg Garland."
Discount stores nationwide sold the decorative items from February 2001
through April 2001 for about $2.
Consumers should stop using these garlands immediately and return them
to the store where purchased for a refund. For more information, call
the CPSC Hotline at (800) 638-2772 anytime.
