CPSC, Target Announce Recall of Jumbo Pencils with Sharpeners
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The sharpener's razor blade is exposed when the cover is removed. Also, the pencil sharpener hole is large enough to allow a finger to fit inside. This poses a laceration hazard to children and adults.
What to do
Consumers should take the recalled jumbo pencil with sharpeners away from children immediately and return them to the nearest Target store for a GiftCard of $1 plus applicable state tax.
