School Supply Sets
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Damo Plus Corp., of Vernon, Calif., is voluntarily
recalling about 26,000 10-piece school supply sets. The sets contain
razor knives, which pose a laceration hazard to children.
Damo Plus has not received any reports of injuries from these
pencil sets. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility
of injury.
The school supply sets were sold in 8-inch plastic cases. The sets
included the razor knife, pencils, scissors, a ruler, an eraser, a
compass, and a tube of glue. Writing on the plastic cases includes
"LITTLE WHITE," "LITTLE ARTIST," "GOOD FRIENDS," or "ZHONG BAIO REN."
The cases are blue, pink yellow or purple and have pictures of children
or animals. These sets were sold in plastic bags with cardboard headers
marked "10 PCS SET PENCIL CASE & PENCIL HOLDER," and "MADE IN CHINA."
Discount and dollar stores in California, Texas, Washington, and
Maryland sold the sets between June and October 2002 for about $1.
Consumers should immediately take these razor knives away from
children and return the pencil sets to the store where they purchased
them for a refund. For more information about this recall, consumers
should call Damo Plus Corp. collect at (323) 583-8484 between 8 a.m. and
