Plain-English summary
Jaclyn, Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 650,000 children's carry-all bags and backpacks featuring the Barney or Baby Bop insignia, as well as three styles of vinyl beach bags with beach scenes. The recall includes specific model numbers for the Barney and Baby Bop items (4301 through 4309, 4350 through 4353, 3342, 3343, and 3370) and the vinyl beach bags (3312, 3315, and 3371). Some of these products were sold with accessory sunglasses.
The recall is being conducted because the surface coating on zipper pulls and the inks used for the insignia in some manufacturing lots were found to contain excess lead. Additionally, some of the accessory sunglasses do not meet shatter-proof lens tests, and the lenses could crack. The products were sold nationwide from October 1992 to March 1993 at retail prices ranging from $5.00 to $31.50. While no incidents of illness or injuries have been reported, the company is recalling the products to prevent potential harm.
Consumers should discontinue use of the recalled items immediately. They should mail the bags and any associated sunglasses to Jaclyn, Inc., c/o SPF, 415 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne, NJ 07470, to receive a free preselected replacement item that meets Federal safety standards. For assistance, consumers may call 1-800-447-9279.
