Plain-English summary

Tri-Star International Inc. of Newark, Calif., is recalling about 360 Cooky Stationery Sets. The sets were sold at dollar stores in northern California from January 2005 through March 2007 for about $1. The stationery sets include a pencil, various color markers, plastic scissors, erasers, and a razor blade cutter. The cardboard backing of the set reads "Cooky Staitonery (sic) Set," and "Cooky Stationery" is written on the erasers and markers.

The recall is being conducted because the sets contain a razor blade cutter with a sharp edge, which poses a laceration hazard to young children. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has not reported any injuries associated with the recalled products.

Consumers should immediately take the razor blade cutter away from children and dispose of it. Consumers can return the set to the store for a refund. For additional information, consumers can contact CPSC's Hotline at (800) 638-2772 anytime.
