Spiderman water bottles recalled for choking hazard

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and New York's Fast Forward LLC are voluntarily recalling about 6,600 Spiderman water bottles due to a choking risk.

The screws under the water bottle's lid can come loose and fall into the cup, posing a choking hazard to children. No injuries have been reported but the company has received three reports of the screws coming loose.

The red, white, blue and black bottles are about 23 centimetres high, and have a Spiderman picture on the cup and a Spiderman figure on the screw on lid. The product was sold exclusively at Sears from July 2007 through August 2007 for about $10.

The company told CBC.ca the product was not sold in Canada.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled water bottles away from children and contact Fast Forward LLC at 1-877-244-4433 for instructions on returning the product for a full refund.
