About 6,000 toy swords are being recalled because they may break, presenting a laceration danger to users, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Friday.
San Francisco-based Gymboree has received 11 reports of swords breaking. No injuries have been reported.
The recall applies to toy swords with the SKU number 140025491-GYS049 sold through Gymboree stores in the U.S. and through its website from August 2007 and September 2007 for between $12 and $15 US each.
Consumers should stop using the swords and return them to Gymboree for a refund.
