Each eraser has a hole in the bottom to insert a pencil. A combination of all four shapes are sold in a see-through plastic bag of 24. Consumers are urged not to give these erasers to young children during the Halloween season and immediately take them away from young children who already have them because they resemble candy and can present a fatal choking hazard. Neither the CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving these erasers. This voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.
Consumers can return their erasers to the store where purchased for a refund of the purchase price.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is announcing this recall as part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The Commission's objective is to reduce the estimated 28.5 million injuries and 21,600 deaths associated each year with the 15,000 different types of consumer products under CPSC's jurisdiction. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission protects the public from the unreasonable risk of injury or death from 15,000 types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction.
