Groupon starts refund program


WASHINGTON, April 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Friday announced a voluntary recall of children's "hip charm" key chains due to excessive levels of lead.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. recalled 12,000 of the Chinese-made key chains after the Illinois attorney general alerted the store and the CPSC that a 9-month old had been observed with one of the key chains in its mouth.
The key chains were sold nationwide at Wal-Mart stores from April 2005 through April 2006 for about $6.
Consumers were instructed to take the key chains away from children immediately and return them for a full refund.
