H-G Toys Recalls Par-Golf Toy Golf Clubs Due to Laceration Risk

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and H-G Toys of Long Beach, N.Y., are recalling Par-Golf Toy Golf Clubs, model numbers 721 and 723. The recall was issued on November 29, 1977, due to a defect in the staple assembly that fastens the club's metal rod to the handle.

The faulty assembly may cause the metal rod to separate from the handle when the club is swung. If this occurs, the rod may be propelled into anyone standing in its path, creating a risk of laceration. The affected clubs were shipped into commerce before May 1, 1977, and were distributed nationwide in specialty and variety stores. They were sold in pairs with two golf balls on a cardboard backing labeled "Par Golf" and "H-G Toys," retailing for approximately $1.50 to $2.50.

Consumers who purchased these specific models are urged to examine the clubs to ensure the rod is securely attached to the handle. If the connection is weak, consumers should discontinue use immediately. The clubs may be returned to the retailer for a refund or replacement. For additional information, consumers can write to H-G Toys, Inc., at 750 Park Place, Long Beach, N.Y. 11561.
