Hallmark Mischievous kittens Ornament that was bought on 9/7/2013 has mold all over it. My case is not the only one about the mold. Hallmark knows about the problem and still let the item go to people. the mold covers the red flock on the ornament and is growing all over it.

I hated to take my Christmas Wreath down in January even though the wreath was still green and fragrant. Unlike fresh-cut Christmas trees, which are mounted on a stand with a container of water at the bottom to keep them moist, I never made any attempt to keep this wreath moist. It seemed fine as-is. I decided to conduct a test. I put the wreath in the fireplace to see if it would burn. It lit easily and burned like a torch for the next five minutes. See photos attached, with timestamps in the filenames. I was surprised at the intensity of the flames, much more than my typical firelogs produce there. I searched the internet, but could not find any significant incidence of wreaths causing home fires. In my house, my wreath is always located away from any source of ignition. However, without application of some kind of fire retardant to the wreath, the potential is there to cause a big problem if it did ignite. Other people might not be as diligent in placing the wreath away from ignition sources in their homes. As I said, I did not find any significant incidence of wreaths causing fires from my internet search. I'm not trying to cause unnecessary alarm. I just wanted to make you aware. It might be better if the wreath vendor treated them with retardant or recommended a specific approach to minimize ignition risk. Having told you this, now I can sleep better. I didn't want to keep this concern to myself alone.

I am reporting on a product by Buffalo Snow which is called Frosty Snow. It is a fake snow for decorating. As my three year old granddaughter and I were sprinkling it on our Christmas village she accidentally inhaled a piece. It actually blocked her airway. Fortunately we had four CPR trained adults because we had to perform the Heimlich procedure and do a mouth sweep several times before she started breathing again. This product will kill a child. It is only a matter of time. Please look into this. Losing a child is horrible at any time but especially at Christmas with something that should be relatively safe.

Item contains sharp broken/shattered glass being sold as rocks/minerals

My daughter purchased a Target brand snow globe from Target in Lanham, MD on 12/16/2021 at 7:34 am. The glass snow globe shattered and cut my daughter's hand in several places. My daughter had to go to urgent care to get stitches.

An item I purchased from Amazon on 11/29/2024 only specified there was glitter (dangerous to those will allergies and small pets) in the 1 star reviews which I had not read prior to purchasing the item. I tried to contact both Amazon and the seller of the company but they didn't seem to take the concern seriously. I am concerned that the amount of glitter could pose a threat to future customers as well. The product is from www.nationaltree.com and the address is 2 Commerce Drive, Cranford, NJ 07016 USA.

My son received a snowman snow globe from his aunt for Christmas. While we were away yesterday, the snowglobe exploded in his room. It was on his dresser, not near any heat sources or electricity, and the bottom was still exactly where it had been placed so we know it didn't fall. It just exploded glass within about a 4 foot radius in his bedroom. I contacted Dollar Tree as I believe this is where the snowglobe is distributed from, but they haven't contacted me back yet. The information on the bottom of the snowglobe is as follows: "DELUXE CMAS WATERBALL" then a bar code, then "873695 88 DISTRIBUTED BY: GREENBRIER INTERNATIONAL, INC, CHESAPEAKE, VA, 23320 MADE IN CHINA".

I purchased a Lightning McQueen Christmas ornament for my three year old grandson at a local Target store. [REDACTED]. However, when the child received the gift, of course he wanted to "make it go" on the carpet, and when he applied the small amount of pressure, the ornament shattered into small glass slivers. Not only was he disappointed, but I was angry at the unexpected danger and that I had paid $8.00 for a licensed product that immediately landed in the garbage.
