Plain-English summary

Fantasia Accessories Ltd. is recalling about 22,500 children's furry critter plush slap bracelets in panda, unicorn, and heart designs. The recalled products consist of a metal band covered with protective fabric. These items were sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide and online at Target.com in July 2018 for approximately $5.

The recall is due to a laceration hazard where the metal wristband can pierce the protective fabric, exposing sharp edges to young children. Fantasia Accessories has received four reports of the bracelets piercing the fabric cover, resulting in five injuries involving minor cuts to consumers' hands or wrists.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bracelets and take them away from young children. To receive a free replacement product, consumers should contact Fantasia Accessories at 800-624-4826 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email [email protected], or visit www.fantasia.com and click on “Safety Information.”
