About 13,000 packages of Cambridge Silversmiths Ltd. Inc. flatware sets have been recalled due to <"https://www.yourlawyer.com/practice_areas/product_liability">choking hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) just announced.

Fiesta Masquerade and Home Olympic Flatware, distributed by Cambridge Silversmiths Ltd. Inc. of Fairfield, New Jersey have been recalled because the plastic decorative inserts on the flatware’s handles can detach during dishwashing, posing a choking hazard to children. To date, the company has received 28 reports of a plastic insert detaching from the flatware. One incident of injury was reported; however, no specifics have been provided.

This recall involves the Fiesta Masquerade and the Home Olympic 20-piece flatware sets. The Fiesta Masquerade flatware set is silver-colored and the handles have plastic decorative inserts in red, orange, yellow, green, and three different shades of blue. The Home Olympic flatware sets are charcoal and the handles have decorative black inserts.

The recalled Fiesta Masquerade and the Home Olympic 20-piece flatware sets were sold exclusively at Fiesta Masquerade at JC Penney, Federated Department Stores, Bealls, and Homer Laughlin from November 2008 through May 2009 and retailed for about $70 per 20-piece set. The recalled sets were also sold at Home Olympic at Target from August 2008 through August 2009 for about $30 per 20-piece set.

The recalled flatware was manufactured in China. Of note, defective imports from China have been making headlines in recent years; this recall of defective Fiesta Masquerade and the Home Olympic 20-piece flatware sets is another of many such issues on which we have been writing.

Also making news is the ongoing Chinese drywall disaster involving imports from that country. And, in 2008, nearly 80 percent of all product recalls in the United States involved imports from China. Products such as dog food, baby formula, toys with lead paint, and even pharmaceuticals like heparin have been found to have been made with toxic materials and other counterfeit ingredients that have long been putting United States consumers at significant risk.

The CPSC is advising consumers to stop using the recalled Fiesta Masquerade and the Home Olympic 20-piece flatware sets immediately and contact the company to return the product and obtain a free replacement. Cambridge Silversmiths can be reached toll-free at 1-800-890-3366 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, at the firm’s Web site at www.cambridgesilversmiths.com, or by email at service@cambridgesilversmiths.com.

Parker Waichman has been so much help with my case over the past few years. It has finally come to an end with a positive outcome. I would also like to thank Benita Rollis, who personally kept me up to date every step along the way. She was able to answer every question I had and always replied in a very timely and professional matter. I cant thank your firm enough. All I can say is thank you from me and my entire family.

This is my first experience working with this firm. My primary contact has been Sabrina Hogan who is helping with my case. Sabrina is an excellent example of what great service should be. Whenever I've had questions, she responds to me quickly. And, although I know she must be extremely busy, she takes time to listen to me. If she's unable to answer my questions during our call, she gets back with me quickly. She's also great at keeping me informed. I also want to express my appreciation for Paul Segal, who assisted me when Sabrina wasn't available. He contacted me right away and was also very helpful! Parker Waichman LLP is fortunate to have Sabrina and Paul on their team!
