What happened

M. Pressner & Co. Inc. is recalling approximately 1,000 toy necklaces (model number 8847) sold between July 1992 and June 1994 due to a choking hazard. The necklaces, which consist of pink and colored heart-shaped beads and black beads strung on white elastic cord, were distributed in the eastern United States through Party Warehouse, 99 Cent Stores, and Center of Town stores. CPSC testing determined that the beads can detach from the necklaces and could be inhaled into young children's lungs, though no accidents or injuries have been reported to date.

According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately take the necklaces away from young children and return them to the store where they were purchased for a refund. Consumers with questions can contact M. Pressner at (800) 451-3592.
