Plain-English summary

Jack's Food Systems Inc., a fast-food chain operating in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee, is voluntarily recalling small plastic animal toys. These toys were distributed as part of the "Quacker Jack's Surprise Pack" food promotion, which included a hamburger, french fries, and a carbonated beverage. The distribution of these toys ceased in September 1983.

The recall is issued because the toys present a potential choking hazard to small children under three years of age. The toys are made of hard plastic in various colors and are approximately 2 inches or smaller in length. They include animals such as lions, squirrels, coyotes, collies, poodles, pigs, hens, ducks, calves, alligators, elephants, goats, monkeys, horses, rams, rhinos, camels, sheep, and hippos. The toys have no identifying marks. CPSC has not reported any choking incidents involving these specific toys.

Consumers who obtained these toys for children under three years of age should remove them from use immediately. The toys should be returned to the Jack's fast-food restaurant where they were obtained. Consumers will receive a discount on their next purchase of a Surprise Pack. For additional information, consumers may contact CPSC's toll-free hotline at 800-43-CPSC or the teletypewriter number for the hearing impaired at (301) 595-7054.
