Plain-English summary

Enesco Group Inc. is recalling approximately 2,600 Heartwood Creek® Turtle Sprinklers. The lawn sprinklers are made of resin with a decorative turtle shell and stand about 5 1/2 inches tall and 10 inches long. The bottom of the sprinkler is printed with the item number 4005179 and the Heartwood Creek logo.

The recall is due to a laceration hazard. When connected to a garden hose under normal household water pressure, the sprinkler can break or shatter. There have been eight reported incidents of the sprinkler breaking apart during use, including one report of a minor laceration.

The sprinklers were sold at specialty gift stores nationwide from January 2006 through June 2006 and through QVC from April 2006 through June 2006 for about $30. Consumers should stop using the sprinkler immediately and contact Enesco for a product exchange or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
