CPSC, Dansk International Designs Ltd. Announce Recall of Ice Cream Scoops
What was recalled
All the recalled Dansk ice cream scoops are made of aluminum and have a 4.5-inch handle. They were sold in four styles: the plain 3.5- inch spade, the plain 2.5-inch scoop, the Penguin-shaped 2.5-inch scoop and the Snowman-shaped 2.5-inch scoop. Each of the scoops is silver colored. The plain scoop and plain spade have the word "DANSK" written on the handle. Ice cream scoops sold by Dansk with a black cap at the end of the handle are not part of this recall.
Hazard
A cap at the end of the handle of the scoop can fly off with substantial force, especially if the scoop is immersed in hot water. The metal cap poses a risk of impact injury to nearby consumers.
Injuries
Dansk has received 10 reports of the caps on these scoops flying off, sometimes traveling several feet. No injuries have been reported.
Where it was sold
- Dansk Factory Outlet Stores and Lenox Warehouse Clearance Centers nationwide sold these ice cream scoops, between January 1988 and November 2001, for about $9.
