Plain-English summary

Fisher-Price, a division of the Quaker Oats Company, is voluntarily recalling and replacing the head portion of the Fisher-Price brand "Splash & Stack Bluebird" toy, Model #167. The recall is due to a potential suffocation hazard associated with the cup-shape head of the toy. The Commission and Fisher-Price investigated three incidents where the toy's head became stuck over the noses and mouths of young children's faces by suction, requiring parents to forcibly remove the heads.

Approximately 278,000 toys were shipped by Fisher-Price between March and December 1983. The toy is a 5-piece stacking set where the head is blue with an orange beak. In December 1983, Fisher-Price redesigned the head by adding ridges to the inside of the beak to eliminate the hazard. Only the head portion without these ridges is being recalled.

Consumers should take the recalled Bluebird toy away from children and call Fisher-Price for service at 1-800-233-4000. Additional information is available from the Consumer Product Safety Commission's toll-free Hotline at 1-800-638-CPSC.
