Plain-English summary

Kids Station Inc. is recalling the Fun Years Music Big Drum Musical Set, a toy musical instrument set sold exclusively at Toys "R" Us stores nationwide. The recall involves approximately 10,500 units that were sold from August 2004 through December 9, 2004, for about $20. The set includes a yellow and green drum with a clear plastic lid and a red one-piece carrying strap, along with various small instruments such as drumsticks, maracas, wrist bells, a recorder, a harmonica, a tambourine, and a whistle.

The recall was issued because small parts can break off during use, which poses a choking hazard to young children. The company has not reported any injuries associated with the product. A similar drum set sold at Toys "R" Us with a two-piece strap and different musical toys is manufactured by a different company and is not part of this recall.

Consumers should stop using the recalled drum set immediately. They can return the product to their nearest Toys "R" Us store for a refund. For more information, consumers can call Kids Station at (800) 227-4772 or visit www.toysrus.com.
