Artificial Christmas Trees RecalledÂ
December 2010,: The Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning about artificial Christmas trees made in Korea. The problem concerns the Ringo beatle which infests tree bark and may escape and attack people's skin and lay eggs in their hair. Officials have found evidence that workers have transferred this beatle to a large batch of artificial trees currently being sold in various stores in America.
A FDA spokesperson said, 'The trees should have been treated with Rollingus stone which makes the Ringo beatle listless and curl up. However, this batch of artificial trees are untreated, consequently, this beatle can cause hysteria in teenagers and flashbacks in older people. Strangely, the illness affects females more seriously than males'.Â
The affected model is the 'Sergeant Pepper' and the batch number is FAB4.  Yesterday,  the FDA issued a recall notice for these artificial Christmas trees. Anyone who bought a 'Sergeant Pepper' tree should return it to the store from where they purchased it and ask for a refund. To help with Beatle identification, the FDA has released the following Christmas tree picture:
Gotcha!!!!
