Plain-English summary
Fred Meyer, Inc. is recalling approximately 1,000 Dan-Dee "Chicken Dance" Tap Dance Easter Chicks. The recalled toy is a yellow chick in a furry multi-colored Easter egg shell with a shell top featuring bunny ears and bright orange feet and nose. It stands approximately 9.5 inches tall and plays music and dances when the left wing is squeezed. The sewn-on label reads "DanDee Collector's Choice" and includes the manufacture date and batch number: 11/2012 120613670.
The recall was issued because the toy's music can reach decibel levels that exceed the ASTM F963 standard, which poses a hearing damage hazard. No injuries have been reported in connection with this product.
The toys were sold at select Fred Meyer stores in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska from February to March 2013 for about $20.
