Descripción:

WASHINGTON, D.C. - CPSC, Kenner Products is announcing a voluntary recall of 176,000 Colorblaster 3-D model 14290.11 spray art design toys. The toy uses a pump to pressurize air in a plastic cylinder. When the toy is over-pumped, the orange pump handle and purple cap can fly off the base, possibly hitting a child using the toy, and causing facial injury.

Kenner Products informed CPSC of this potential hazard after the company received reports of eight injuries which occurred when the pump handle and cap assembly blew out of the base and struck the pump operator.

Kenner sold the Colorblaster 3-Ds nationally through wholesale and retail outlets between August 1994 and January 1995 for $26.99 each.

This recall only affects Colorblaster 3-D, which can be identified by its orange handle and purple cap, and does not include other Colorblaster products.

Consumers who own the Colorblaster 3-D should return the product to the store where purchased for a full refund. Consumers can call Kenner toll-free at (800) 327-8264 for a pre-paid mailing label to send the purple handle and cap to the company for a full refund at Kenner Products, c/o Colorblaster Recall, P.O. Box 1992 Pawtucket, R.I. 02860-1992. Consumers with questions should call the company at the above toll-free number.
