Michaels is recalling about 288,000 Ashland brand holiday paper gift and storage boxes because they may contain mold. The boxes were sold in nine different themes with various embellishments like ribbon and burlap, and come in square, circle, and rectangle shapes across small, medium, and large sizes. These products were sold at Michaels stores nationwide from October 2015 through November 2015 for between $5 and $20. Consumers should immediately stop using these boxes and return them to any Michaels store for a full refund.
The presence of mold on the boxes poses a risk of respiratory or other infections, particularly for consumers with compromised immune systems, damaged lungs, or a specific allergy to mold. No injuries or incidents have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the paper boxes and return them to any Michaels store for a full refund.
