Approximately 35,000 H-E-Buddy kaleidoscopes are being recalled because the end caps can be removed, exposing small parts and internal components. These small parts pose a choking hazard to young children, and the internal pieces can cause cuts or lacerations. These red plastic toys were given away as prizes for accumulated purchase points exclusively at H-E-B and H-E-B Plus stores in Texas between April 1 and April 3, 2015. Consumers should immediately take these toys away from children and return them to any H-E-B store for a refund of purchase points.
The end caps on the kaleidoscope can come off, releasing small internal parts that a child could swallow or choke on. Additionally, the internal components of the toy have sharp edges that pose a risk of skin lacerations if handled.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled kaleidoscopes, take them from children and return the kaleidoscopes to an H-E-B store for a refund of purchase points that can be used for another item.
