Plain-English summary

Bonne Bell Co. is recalling approximately 945,000 units of its Children's Cosmetics Accessory Bags.

The specific models involved include the SMACKERS Sweet Treats Collection, SMACKERS Sparkle & Shine Collection, SMACKERS Glam It Up Collection, BONNEBELL Natural Neutrals Collection, BONNEBELL Pretty Pinks Collection, BONNEBELL Fresh Pinks Collection, and BONNEBELL Glamorous Neutrals Collection.
