Plain-English summary

Damo Plus Corp. of Vernon, Calif., is recalling about 26,000 children's school supply sets. The sets were sold in 8-inch plastic cases between June and October 2002 for about $1 at discount and dollar stores in California, Texas, Washington, and Maryland. The plastic cases are blue, pink, yellow, or purple and feature pictures of children or animals. Writing on the cases includes "LITTLE WHITE," "LITTLE ARTIST," "GOOD FRIENDS," or "ZHONG BAIO REN." The sets were sold in plastic bags with cardboard headers marked "10 PCS SET PENCIL CASE & PENCIL HOLDER" and "MADE IN CHINA."

The recall was issued because the sets contain razor knives, which pose a laceration hazard to children. The sets also include pencils, scissors, a ruler, an eraser, a compass, and a tube of glue. Damo Plus has not received any reports of injuries from these pencil sets.

Consumers should immediately take these razor knives away from children and return the pencil sets to the store where they purchased them for a refund.
