Recall Details
WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Bentonville, AR is voluntarily recalling approximately 30,000 Halloween Trumpet sets, model number 9353-228 because the trumpet's mouthpiece can easily detach causing a fatal choking hazard to young children.
These five-inch long black and orange Halloween Trumpets come in sets of 15 in a clear cellophane bag with a cardboard header that reads in part, "Halloween 15 Party Favors."
These trumpets were sold nationwide this Halloween season for approximately $2.00 per set.
To date, neither the CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving this product. This voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury during this Halloween season.
These potentially hazardous trumpets were identified during a special Halloween inspection program conducted by the CPSC.
Consumers are urged not to give these trumpets to young children during this Halloween season and immediately take them away from young children who already have them. Consumers should return them to the store where purchased for a refund of the purchase price. Consumers with questions about this recall may contact Wal-Mart at (501) 273-4000.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is announcing this recall as part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The Commission's mission is to reduce the estimated 28.5 million injuries and 21,600 deaths associated each year with the 15,000 different types of consumer products under CPSC's jurisdiction.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
