Recalls "Love A Bye Baby" Washington, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Hasbro, Inc. is voluntarily recalling its "Love-A-Bye Baby" doll line because the CPSC has determined that the doll's arms, baby bottle and comb are small parts that could present a serious choking hazard to young children under three years of age. The dolls are 3-1/2 inches tall and come in black or white with curly or straight hair, with and without hair ribbons. The sets include a Love-A-Bye Baby doll, a 1-1/2 inch baby bottle, and a two-inch comb and sold for between $2.00 and $5.00 each. Other Love-A-Bye doll accessories are sold separately but are not being recalled. Approximately 3,749,000 were distributed nationwide from December 1987 to March 1989. Consumers should take the doll, baby bottle, and comb away from young children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund. Consumers may also return them to Hasbro, Inc., 450 Division Street, Pawtucket, RI 02861 for a refund. For further information about this recall, consumers may call 1-800-242-7276. While neither the CPSC nor Hasbro, Inc. are aware of any injuries or complaints involving the Love-A-Bye Baby doll, this recall is being under taken to prevent that possibility
MARCH 29, 1990 Release # 90-060 Toys Recalled Due To Potential Choking Hazard WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Associated Merchandising Corporation (AMC), New York, New York is voluntarily recalling 750 "Music Maker" Elephant toys imported by the company because small parts may detach posing a potential choking hazard to young children and because of potentially excessive lead levels in the toy's paint. The toy was distributed nationwide from August to November 1989. The retail price ranged from $12.00 to $20.00 each. To date, AMC and the CPSC are not aware of any injuries associated with this toy. The Music Maker toy is blue plastic in the shape of an elephant, with four musical features built into and on top of the body; a xylophone, drum, bells and ball popper. The toy contains a multi-colored, bell-like device which is attached with a smooth rivet that may detach, resulting in the potential choking hazard. In addition, the yellow paint used on the toy may contain lead in excess of 0.06 percent, the level set in CPSC regulations limiting lead content on children's articles. The toy comes in a blue box with the name "Creative Years" in the top right hand corner of the front of the box. Printing on the front of the box also states: "Style 29/555" and "For ages 6 months and up." One side of the box is labeled "1989 AMC. Distributed by AMC, New York, N.Y. 10018. Made in China."
