Neiman Marcus fuzzy squeaking duck gift wrap ornaments
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Neiman-Marcus is recalling two gift ornaments that were attached to gift-wrapped boxes due to safety hazards for young children. The first is a fuzzy yellow squeaking duck (about 4 inches tall with orange felt feet and beak) distributed between January 1, 1988 and April 30, 1988, which poses a choking hazard because its small black plastic eyes can be pulled off. The second is a painted wooden Hansel and Gretel decoration (about 5 inches tall) distributed between January 1, 1987 and December 31, 1987, which may present a lead poisoning hazard because the paint contains lead in excess of allowed limits. Approximately 6,000 ducks and 11,000 Hansel and Gretel decorations were distributed.
Consumers who received either ornament as part of Neiman-Marcus gift-wrapped boxes should return them to a Neiman-Marcus store for a refund of the gift-wrap price. Neiman-Marcus stores are located in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York, and Texas.
