McDonald’s has issued a recall for roughly 29 million “Step-iT” wristbands after receiving dozens of reports that the products can cause skin irritation and burns.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that the firm has received more than 70 reports of incidents. At least seven of these reports involve consumers developing blisters after wearing the wristbands.
The recalled wristbands were distributed exclusively by McDonald’s restaurants as part of their Happy Meal and Mighty Kids Meal items. Defective units were distributed between August 9, 2016 and August 17, 2016.
Consumers should take the recalled wristbands from children and return the products to any McDonald’s location.
