Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and The Ruby Restaurant Group are recalling approximately 200,000 light-up yo-yo toys. These toys were distributed as giveaways with the purchase of a kid's meal at Ruby's Diner restaurants in Pennsylvania, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, Colorado, and California from February 2006 through March 2006. The recalled toys are clear plastic with red, blue, or green tinted sides, measure about 2 inches in diameter, and feature "Ruby's Diner" printed on each side.

The recall is due to a choking hazard. The yo-yo can separate and expose small parts, which presents a risk to young children. CPSC and The Ruby Restaurant Group have received one report of the yo-yo separating, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should take the yo-yo toy from children immediately and return it to the nearest Ruby's Diner for a free replacement toy. For more information, consumers can contact Ruby's Diner at (800) 439-7829.
