CPSC, Payless ShoeSource Announce Recall of Child's Novelty
Purses
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Payless ShoeSource Inc. is
recalling about 6,000 novelty purses. The purses contain
a petroleum distillate, used as a decorative liquid in the
purse flap, that could be harmful or fatal if ingested.
CPSC and Payless are not aware of any injuries
involving these purses. This recall is being conducted to
prevent the possibility of injury.
The purses are made of clear plastic and measure about
5 inches long by 5 inches wide. The purses' flaps contain
two bright colored liquids, glitter and decorative foil
confetti. The purses were available with liquids in green
and yellow, pink and orange, and purple and blue. Inside the
purse are two tags: a warning label regarding the hazardous
liquid in the purse, and a tag with the products'
identification number, "3659," and the words, "Made in
China."
The purses were sold at Payless ShoeSource stores
nationwide from Feb 1998 through May 1998 for about $8.
Consumers should immediately take these purses away
from children, and return them to their local Payless
ShoeSource store for a refund and an additional $10 gift
certificate. For more information, consumers can call (800)
444-7463 between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. CDT Monday through
Saturday. Consumers also can mail the purse to Payless
ShoeSource Purse Recall, 3231 E. Sixth St., Topeka, KS 66601
with their return address enclosed for a full refund and a
$10 gift certificate issued through the mail.
