LaRose Industries is recalling about 102,000 Cra-Z-Art Snoopy Sno-Cone Machines because a metal part can fall into the shaved ice. The recall involves white dog-house shaped machines with red roofs and characters like Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and Lucy on the front. These toys were sold at Target, Toys R Us, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon between September 2012 and July 2013 for approximately $15. There have been 64 reports of metal rivets falling out of the machine, and consumers can receive a free repair kit from the manufacturer.
A brass rivet can detach from the metal ice-shaving cylinder and fall into the sno-cone. If a consumer eats the ice containing this metal piece, it poses a significant risk of cuts or injury to the mouth and teeth.
Consumers should stop using the recalled sno-cone machines immediately and contact LaRose Industries for a free repair kit, which includes a new ice shaving cylinder. Do not return the recalled sno-cone machines to the store where purchased.
