Plain-English summary
Raymond Geddes & Co. Inc. is recalling approximately 6,500 Tropical Fish and Rockin' Reptile Push'n Pop toys. The recall is due to a safety hazard where the balloon tongues and the cylinders holding them can detach from the vinyl toys, posing choking and aspiration risks to young children.
The recalled toys are about 2 to 3 inches long and come in fish and lizard styles. When squeezed, the balloon tongue inflates or rolls out. The toys were manufactured in China and sold for about $1 each between August 1998 and March 2001. Distribution channels included toy stores, doctor and dentist offices, and carnivals and circuses.
The company reported one incident involving a 3-year-old boy who inhaled a detached balloon tongue into his sinus cavity, requiring medical treatment for removal. Consumers should immediately remove these toys from the reach of young children and return them to the place of purchase for a refund or dispose of them. Questions can be directed to the firm at (800) 533-6273 or via email at [email protected].
