CPSC, K·B ToysTM Announce Recall of Bubble BeautiesTM Floating Balls
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), K·B ToysTM of Columbus, Ohio, is recalling about 500 Bubble BeautiesTM floating balls. These floating balls contain a petroleum distillate, similar to kerosene, that could be harmful or fatal if ingested.
CPSC and K·B ToysTM are not aware of any injuries involving these floating balls. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.
Bubble BeautiesTM floating balls are clear, 2-inch-wide plastic balls containing another clear plastic ball that holds a small, plastic doll. The dolls have either pink, blue, purple or yellow hair. The liquid around the inner ball contains glitter. Writing on the floating balls include: "Bubble BeautiesTM...#2801...NOT A THROWING TOY...MADE IN CHINA."
K·B ToyTM Stores nationwide sold these floating balls in May 1998 for about $3 to $4.
Consumers should immediately take these floating balls away from children, and return them to the store where purchased for a refund. For more information, consumers should call K·B ToysTM at (800) 877-1253 between 8 a.m and 5 p.m EDT Monday through Friday.
This is the fourth recall of a children's product since April 1998 that contains petroleum distillates. CPSC has issued guidance to manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers of liquid-filled consumer products recommending that they not make, sell or distribute products containing harmful liquids which children could access.
