Sketch Book Recall?
MGA Entertainment will recall 6,200 units of the Bratz Makeup Design Sketch Book. Bizarrely, this toy may be contaminated with Staphylococcus warneri and Staphylococcus intermedius. MGA is recalling products produced between November 5, 2010 and February 25, 2011.
From the FDA on these things you have never heard of in your life:
S. warneri rarely causes disease in humans. Wounds in the eye increase risk of infection and may result in symptoms such as pain and decreased visual acuity. S. intermedius is a very rare cause of infection in humans and risks are typically associated with veterinary exposures. For certain individuals, such as those with compromised immune systems, introduction into the eye by either microorganism may result in infection, which, if left untreated, may lead to sight-threatening complications.
So these are probably relatively low risk infections but, then again, what were the odds your kid's makeup design sketch book was contaminated in the first place?
Buried on MGA Entertainment's website is this information on the recall.
