Plain-English summary

Celebrate Express Inc. is recalling approximately 21,100 Mystery Drawer and Dice Tunnel Magic Party Favors and 25,500 Costume Shields. The recalled items are plastic party favors and costume accessories that were sold by Celebrate Express through its Birthday Express and Costume Express online and catalog services.

The recall is being conducted because the magic party favors and the dragon ornament on the shield could break or crack, exposing sharp points that present a possible laceration hazard to children. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the company have not received any reports of incidents or injuries associated with these products.

The Magic Party Favors were sold as part of the Magic Favor Box from January 2005 through August 2005 for about $3. The Costume Shields were sold from April 2004 through September 2005 as part of various costume sets for about $5 to $36. Consumers should take the recalled items away from children immediately and contact Celebrate Express for a refund. The company has directly contacted all purchasers of the products by mail.
