Plain-English summary

Figi's Companies Inc. is recalling approximately 5,000 Christmas Wishes tins due to a choking and button battery ingestion hazard. The metal tins, which feature a red lid and white base with a Christmas tree and winter snow scene, measure 9 inches in diameter. They contain a music sound chip located in an envelope on the underside of the lid, which holds three button batteries.

The hazard exists because the sound chip mechanism can separate, exposing the button batteries. This poses a risk of choking and battery ingestion to children. The company has not reported any injuries associated with this recall.

The tins were sold online at www.figis.com and www.birchlandmarket.com, as well as through Figi's Companies and Birchland Market mail-order catalogs, from October 2016 through December 2016 for about $40. Consumers should immediately remove the tins from areas accessible to children and contact Figi's Companies to receive a full refund.
