Silver Shamrock Novelty Co. Recalls Halloween Masks; Possible Evidence of Product Tampering SANTA MIRA CALIFORNIA - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the Silver Shamrock Novelty Company, today announced a voluntary recall of their popular line of Halloween masks. The masks, bearing the likeness of a skull, a witch and a jack-o'-lantern, have been found to contain a strange microchip device as well as dangerous levels of Stonehenge fragments. In tests on lab mice, fragments of the ancient Stonehenge ruins have been shown to cause inner-cranial growth of insects, arachnids and reptiles, leading to severe injury and/or death. Images of the masks being recalled. Conal Cochran, the CEO of Silver Shamrock, was unavailable for comment. An official statement was issued from the company's public relations department, stating that the company was investigating how the microchips and pieces of Stonehenge had gotten into their masks. With the ancient ruins of Stonehenge lying more than 5,000 miles away in the United Kingdom it is unlikely that the foreign pieces of rock were accidentally introduced into the Silver Shamrock masks. That coupled with the fragments placement directly with the unexplained microchip located underneath the company's trademark button on each mask, has led some to believe that the masks were deliberately tampered with. Authorities in Santa Mira have stated that they are conducting an investigation with the company's full support, but have not turned up any evidence of criminal activity. This is the second time that the Santa Mira police have investigated Silver Shamrock this year. Back in May, authorities investigated reports of "killer robots" employed by the novelty company. The brief investigation reportedly turned up nothing. There has been some criticism of the investigations due to the police department being run by Conal Cochran (who also runs the local hospital out of his factory). The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has tested other company products, including other popular gag items such as Silver Shamrock's sticky toilet paper, dead dwarf gag and soft chainsaw. All other products tested negative for Stonehenge. To receive a full refund, customers should contact the company directly through their Web site. It is possible to remove the trademark button from the mask, but caution should be used not to poke it with a hair pin, as this could have disastrous results. Happy Halloween!
