Affected units were provided at H-E-B and H-E-B Plus stores in Texas from April 1, 2015 to April 3, 2015 as a prize for accumulated purchase points. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled kaleidoscopes, take them from children and return the toys to an H-E-B store for a refund of purchase points that can be used for another item.
