Plain-English summary
Albert E. Price, Inc. of Bellmawr, New Jersey, is voluntarily recalling approximately 2,300 stuffed toy mobiles in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall was announced on August 21, 1980. The affected products are two types of stuffed animal mobiles intended to be suspended from ceilings or cribs using a metal spring and two white string cords.
The specific models involved are a duck (model 9160) and an elephant (model 9161). Both toys are covered with plush fabric, and the importer's name is printed on a tag attached to each animal. The model numbers appear on the boxes in which the toys are sold. Although no deaths or injuries have been associated with these specific toys, a similar toy imported by another firm was involved in the strangulation of an 11-month-old baby girl last year when she became entangled in the elastic cords suspending it from her crib.
Parents should immediately cut off the cords and the spring from the toys. To receive a full refund, consumers should return the toy to the place of purchase. To verify the model numbers, consumers can contact CPSC's toll-free Hotline at 800-638-2772.
