CPSC Recalls Children's Stuffed Yarn Bunnies Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Ocean Desert Sales Inc. of Philadelphia, Pa. are recalling about 18,500 children's stuffed yarn bunnies. The recall was issued because the round black bead eyes, heart buttons, and flower buttons can detach from the toy, creating an aspiration hazard for young children and a choking hazard for others.

The recalled stuffed bunnies are approximately 8 inches tall and feature a skirt or overall shorts in various colors, including purple, turquoise, and pink. The clothing is decorated with heart and flower buttons, and the toy includes a bow tie at the neck in checked pattern colors such as green and pink. A hang tag on the bunny identifies the manufacturer as Ocean Desert Sales and lists the item number as EST-220.

These toys were sold at discount and dollar stores from February 2002 through March 2003 for approximately $1. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall. Consumers should immediately take the toy away from young children and return it to the store where purchased for a refund. For more information, consumers can contact Ocean Desert Sales at (800) 252-1931 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
