The Venus Simply3 disposable razors by Gillette being recalled are sold in four-packs and are also included in Daisy 12-packs as a bonus 13th razor, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a news release Thursday.
The four-packs have lot numbers of 9003A17400 and 9007A17400 and a UPC code of 047400315358. The Daisy 12 + 1 packages have a lot number of 9009A17400 and UPC code of 047400300712.
