WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Sansom, Inc., Philadelphia, PA, is voluntarily recalling 7,000 blister packs containing four "Candy Filled Funglasses," model number 180. These blister packs were mistakenly labeled as "SAFE FOR ALL AGES." During routine CPSC testing, the end caps separated from the funglasses presenting potential choking hazards to young children under the age of three. The sunglass frames are made from 7/8" clear plastic tubing and are filled with candy beads. At each end of each tube is a white cap that may easily come off. The label on the blister pack in part reads: "4-PIECE PARTY PACK, Fun-Time™, DISTRIBUTED BY SANSOM, INC., . . . ASSEMBLED IN MEXICO." The funglasses were distributed nationwide at Lionel Leisure Stores and other retail toy stores from January 1993 through December 1993. The funglasses sold for $2.00 each.

Consumers are urged to take the funglasses away from children under the age of three immediately. Funglasses purchased from Lionel Leisure stores may be discarded or mailed to Sansom for a refund including postage.
