Ugh! We have this game.

[xavirose]

Although we do have this game--most of the cranium games actually-LOVE THEM!-- if you bought your game before 10/07, it is not affected by the recall, and even if you did, it still depends on the if the box is metal or cardboard, rectangular or square, etc. so chances are your game is not affected. We have such fun playing these with the kids-- some kid's games are so tedious for adults to play-- so it's a relief to find something that's actually fun for everyone!

Glad we don't have to send it back!
