Gift Boxes Recalled Due to Risk of Mold Exposure

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), announced that Schurman Retail Group, Fairfield, Calif., is recalling one of its paper box products because mold can be present on the boxes, which can cause respiratory or other infections in those with compromised immune systems or lung issues.

So far, Schurman Retail Group received nine reports of respiratory irritation from contact with the boxes.

The CPSC advised consumers to stop using the boxes immediately and return them to PAPYRUS, Paper Destiny or Carlton Cards Stores for a full refund, or to contact Schurman Retail Group for instructions on how to return the product directly.
