Plain-English summary

Warner Bros. Stores Inc. is recalling about 2,500 Tweety Water Timer Game Key Rings in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The key rings are rectangular-shaped clear plastic containers with three compartments containing a blue liquid, a yellow wheel, and a picture of Tweety. A key ring is attached with a small chain.

The recall is being conducted because the key rings contain ethylene glycol, a substance commonly found in antifreeze, that could leak. Ethylene glycol can poison young children if swallowed. CPSC and Warner Bros. Stores are not aware of any injuries involving these key rings, and the recall is intended to prevent the possibility of injury.

The key rings were sold at Warner Bros. Stores nationwide from April 1996 through April 1997 for about $5. Consumers should take these key rings away from children immediately and return them to Warner Bros. Stores for a refund. For more information, consumers can call Warner Bros. Stores toll-free at (800) 795-9277, ext. 43288 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PDT Monday through Friday.
