Pace
Products Inc., of Apopka, Fla., is voluntarily recalling about 145,000
children's soap making kits. The soap may get too hot when heated in the
microwave oven and leak from the tray mold posing a burn hazard to children.
The soap kits were sold under the name 'Soap Making for Kids." The kits
include a plastic mold tray, three bars of glycerine, string and an instruction
book. "SCHOLASTIC INC." and "Made in U.S.A." are printed on
the back of the soap kit box.
Scholastic Book Clubs and Book Fairs sold the recalled soap kits at schools
nationwide from March 2000 through November 2002 and bookstores sold the
recalled soap kits from March 1998 through November 2002 for about $8.
Consumers should take these soap kits away from children immediately and
contact Pace Products at (800) 541-7670 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday
through Friday to receive instructions on returning the soap kits for a refund.
