Dunkin' Donuts withdraws glow sticks due to hazard

Dunkin' Donuts is voluntarily withdrawing 1 million orange glow sticks, saying they were not labeled properly to warn customers of a choking hazard.

The cap and lanyard, when dislodged from the glow stick, pose the choking hazard for children under age 3, the company said in a news release today.

The company said it has not gotten any complaints or reports of injury.

Dunkin' Donuts distributed the glow sticks free with each purchase of a dozen doughnuts or 25- or 50-count box of Munchkins beginning the week of Sept. 24 at participating restaurants around the country.

Consumers who have gotten a glow stick should take them from children and get rid of them immediately.

For information, call Dunkin' Donuts Consumer Care at (800) 859-5339 or go to www.DunkinDonuts.com.
