CPSC, Creative Products Inc. Announce Recall of Toy Jewelry
Sets
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Creative Products Inc. of
Skokie, Ill., is voluntarily recalling about 28,000 toy
jewelry sets. The necklaces and bracelets of two different
sets can break, releasing small beads. The earring clasps
of a third set can come off. Young children can choke on
the earring clasps and inhale the beads into their lungs
which could lead to death.
CPSC and Creative Products Inc. are not aware of any
injuries involving these toy jewelry sets. This recall is
being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.
There are three different jewelry assortments involved
in this recall. One set contains a 16-inch brown bead
necklace and 4 brown hair combs. The beads are grouped in
threes and are separated by black and white discs. Another
set contains a brown 8-inch bead bracelet that matches a
brown 18-inch bead necklace. The beads are separated by
bamboo- shaped pieces. At the center of each necklace and
bracelet are several black and brown triangle-shaped
ornaments. The third set contains earrings along with a
matching multi- colored 18-inch bead necklace and 6-inch
bead bracelet. An orange sunburst ornament with a face
embossed in the center is attached to the yellow earring
clasps, three sunbursts are attached to the necklace, and
one sunburst is attached to the bracelet.
Dollar-type and discount stores in the East, Midwest,
and South sold the jewelry sets from August 1995 through
November 1995 for about $1.
Consumers should take the jewelry sets away from young
children immediately and return them to the store where
purchased for a full refund. For more information about this
recall, consumers should call Creative Products Inc. at
