WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product.

"The Coin Purse" and "Mobile Case Coin Puase" are printed on the tag attached to the purse. "Colorful Drop Accessory Bracelet" is printed on the front of the necklace packages and "Colorful Drop Accessory Pierce" is printed on the front of the earring packages.
