BY the Associated Press

The Food and Drug Admin

seizure actions wherever arti-
cles containing a poisonous
Haitian bean are found.
IF the articles do not bear
warning labels and do contain
jequirty beans they are sub
ject to action under the Fed
eral Hazardous Substances
Labelling Act" an agency
spokesman said yesterday.
Earlier in the day, the Mas
sachusetts commissioner of
public health, DR.. Alfred L.
Frechette, warned that the
bean, used for necklaces, cloth
ing ornamentation and novel;
ties, poses a peril.
He said the chewing Of one
bean will be followed by vio-,
lent sickness within hours and
may result in death. Children
are particularly threatened, he
said. because they frequently
chew on necklaces and other
ornaments.
DR.. Frechette said thousands
of necklaces made from the
beans have been sold in Mas
sachusettS. State food and drug
inspectors say most of them
have been removed from stores.
The ripe bean is small and
black. although it may appear
