What was recalled

The gel pens were sold in various colors, and have "Colorbök Gel" written on the clip of the pens. The notebooks that included these pens have turquoise, lime magenta or orange covers, and contain solid black notepaper. The notepads that included these pens also contain solid black notepaper in various shapes, including stars, hearts, butterflys, frogs and cats.

Hazard

Because these pens contain an extra spring, the end caps can shoot off with great force, posing a risk of eye and facial injuries.

Injuries

None reported

Where it was sold

  • Department, drug, grocery, and toy stores sold the notebooks and notepads with these pens, from June 2000 through July 2000, for about $5.
