Product Recall: Children’s Kaleidoscopes From H-E-B Stores

Branded LLC is recalling more than 35,000 kaleidoscope toys! The end caps of the kaleidoscope can be removed and expose small parts that can come loose and pose a choking hazard to small children and internal components that pose a risk of laceration.

This recall involves H-E-Buddy kaleidoscopes. The recalled kaleidoscopes are made of red plastic, about 5 ¾ inches long and 2 inches in diameter and have “H-E-Buddy” on the barrel.

No injuries or incidents have been reported.

Parents should take the toys away from children and return them to the H-E-B store. H-E-B stores are offering refunds of the purchase points that can then be used for another item.

The toys were sold exclusively at H-E-B and H-E-B Plus stores in Texas from April 1, 2015 to April 3, 2015 as a prize for accumulated purchase points.

Company contact: H-E-Buddy Prize Line at (800) 399-0629 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT daily or online at www.bybranded.com and click on “HEBuddy Kaleidoscope recall information” for more information.
