PRODUCT ALERT!!!!

One of our registrants has called our attention to a novelty product called "Candy Sprays" targeted at children and sold from counter displays. This product is similar in appearance to small spray containers targeted at adults containing breath freshener or perfume. The "Candy Sprays" container utilizes the same type of spray nozzle as a can of spray paint or other inexpensive sprayed product. The nozzle is merely pushed onto the top of a tube, and the finger pushes this "button" down allowing liquid inside to spray out of the hole in the side of the nozzle. This "button" spray nozzle might come off in a child's mouth. Our registrant was able to retrieve the nozzle before the choking incident had a more serious result.

In a conversation with Keith Taylor, CEO of Pavalor Merchandising Company, the "Candy Sprays" supplier, he expressed his sincere concern for all children that might use novelty items containing candy without adequate parental supervision. "The label requires parental supervision, and meets all requirements for this type of product. But I want to do all that I can to revise the labeling to create additional parental awareness of potential misuse. I realize the additional warnings will hurt sales, but that's better than just one injury".

This information is provided by SafetyAlerts to call your attention to a product that requires constant supervision to prevent serious injury or death. The link to the article follows: AOL Link http://www.safetyalerts.com/t/g/candyspray.htm

I wonder if Daimler is happy with its acquisition. Also, I haven't heard anything about "Hogzilla", the SUV they were going to come out with huger than any existing SUV.
