CPSC, Target Announce Recall of Jumbo Pencils with Sharpeners
⚠ 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.
Remedy: 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.
Sold at: Target Stores nationwide from July 2005 through August 2005 for about $1.
Manufacturer: Target Corp., of Minneapolis, Minn.
