Hallmark
Cards Inc., of Kansas City, Mo., is voluntarily recalling about 7,000 Harry
Potter key chains. The key chains can leak petroleum distillates, which can
pose an ingestion hazard to children.
The Harry Potter Magic Potion Bottle key chain is made of styrene and has a
"potion bottle" filled with purple-colored mineral oil and red-
colored water. The 3-inch tall key chain has a green base and a gold top, and
has the letters "HP" printed on the bottle. Hallmark, Hallmark Card,
Wal-Mart, grocery, drug, and gift stores nationwide sold the key chains from
October 2001 through November 2001 for about $5.
Consumers should take the key chains away from children immediately and
contact Hallmark at (800) 425-5627 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through
Friday for a full refund.
