CPSC, Rose Art Announce Recall of Children's Soap Making Kit
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Rose Art Industries Inc., of Livingston, N.J., is
voluntarily recalling about 124,400 Soap Making Kits. The soap may get
too hot when heated in the microwave oven and leak from the plastic
container posing a burn hazard to children.
CPSC and Rose Art have received 10 reports of children being
burned by the hot soap while removing the plastic container from the
microwave oven.
The soap making kit is sold in a cardboard box with model number
4054 or a plastic case with model number 4121 on the packaging. The
model number is located on the upper right hand corner on the front of
the packaging. Each kit includes bars of soap, molds, and a plastic cup
to melt soap chunks.
Toy and discount stores, including Toys R Us, Wal Mart, Kaybee
Toys, Target and Value City, sold these kits nationwide between August
1997 through December 2001 for about $10.
Consumers should stop using these kits immediately and contact
Rose Art at (800) 272-9667 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through
Friday or visit the firm's web site at www.roseart.com for information
on how to receive a full refund and an additional Rose Art product item
at no charge.
