Plain-English summary

Jo-Ann Stores Inc. is recalling approximately 60 units of Children's Robbie Ducky Holiday Water Globes. The recalled items are small holiday decorations, about 1-1/2 inches in diameter, featuring designs such as Robbie Ducky, reindeer, penguin, and polar bear on square bases. The phrase "Holiday Inspirations Water Globe" is printed on the bottom of the globes.
