Plain-English summary

Small Small World, of Englewood, N.J., is recalling approximately 75,000 "Egg Dippers" Easter plush toys. The recall includes four specific animal plush toys: a white rabbit with a purple egg, a green rabbit with a yellow egg, a purple bear with a purple egg, and a yellow duck with a green egg. Each toy features a permanent label reading "The Boyd's Collection, Ltd." and carries "Happy Easter" or "You're Egg-stra Special" text on the egg.

The toys are being recalled because their seams can separate, allowing small beads to be released. This presents an aspiration hazard to young children. There have been two reports of children ingesting beads from these plush toys, but no injuries have been reported.

The toys were sold at department and specialty stores nationwide from February 2003 through April 2003 for about $8. Consumers should call The Boyds Collection at (800) 377-3050 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday for information on getting a free replacement toy.
