Hi-C Cool Cuff wristbands
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Coca-Cola Foods is voluntarily recalling a promotional item called "Cool Cuff," a brightly colored wristband distributed with Hi-C fruit drinks primarily from February through April 1989. The recall was initiated because the plastic locking device that holds the bracelet in place contains small parts that do not comply with Consumer Product Safety Commission regulations and could be removed and become a choking hazard for small children. Approximately two million Cool Cuffs were distributed in 250-ml aseptic boxes of Hi-C, with an additional quantity distributed through mail-in offers on 46-ounce cans. No injuries have been reported.
Consumers who have Cool Cuffs at home should take the item away from children under three years of age and either discard it or return it to Hi-C Stick-on Cool Cuff, P.O. Box 1133, Maple Plains, MN 55348 for replacement with a premium of similar value. Consumers with additional questions may contact the Coca-Cola Foods Consumer Affairs Department at P.O. Box 2079, Houston, TX 77252, or by calling collect at (713) 888-5348.
