Sansom Recalls Candy Filled Toy Funglasses Due to Choking Hazard

Sansom is recalling 7,000 packs of Candy Filled Funglasses because the end caps can detach, posing a choking risk to children under three.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a choking hazard for young children, which fits the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Sansom, Inc. is voluntarily recalling 7,000 blister packs of "Candy Filled Funglasses," model number 180. Each pack contains four pairs of toy sunglasses made of clear plastic tubing filled with candy beads. The products were distributed nationwide by Lionel Leisure stores and other retail toy stores from January 1993 through December 1993.

The recall was initiated because the white end caps on the plastic tubing can easily come off, creating a choking hazard for children under the age of three. The products were mistakenly labeled as "SAFE FOR ALL AGES" despite containing small parts. The recall was identified during a joint CPSC and U.S. Customs surveillance program.

Consumers should immediately take the funglasses away from children under three. Those who purchased the items from Lionel Leisure stores may discard them or mail them to Sansom for a refund. Consumers who bought the funglasses from other retail toy stores may return them to the place of purchase or mail them to Sansom for a refund.
