Plain-English summary
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 30,000 Halloween Trumpet sets, model number 9353-228, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall was initiated because the trumpet's mouthpiece can easily detach, creating a fatal choking hazard for young children.
The affected products are five-inch long black and orange trumpets sold in sets of 15 in a clear cellophane bag with a cardboard header reading "Halloween 15 Party Favors." These items were sold nationwide during the Halloween season for approximately $2.00 per set. The CPSC identified the hazard during a special Halloween inspection program. To date, neither the CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving this product.
Consumers are urged not to give these trumpets to young children and should immediately take them away from children who already have them. Consumers should return the products to the store where purchased for a refund of the purchase price. Questions regarding the recall can be directed to Wal-Mart at (501) 273-4000.
