S & H Recalls My Baby Pumpkin Dolls Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

S & H Wholesale Corporation of East Syracuse, New York, is recalling 2,400 "My Baby Pumpkin Dolls" in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The dolls were sold in the Syracuse/Rochester, New York area between July 1985 and June 1986. Each doll is approximately seven inches tall with a plastic head and hands, a stuffed fabric torso, arms, and legs, and blue eyes with freckles. Some dolls feature yarn hair in yellow, brown, or tan, while others have no hair. The dolls are dressed in various outfits, some with hats, and bear a fabric label indicating they were made in Hong Kong.

The recall is being issued because CPSC tests showed that the dolls' hands detach and are small enough to be a choking hazard. CPSC safety requirements state that toys for children younger than three must not have small parts. Although the CPSC and S & H Wholesale have not received any reports of injuries involving this toy, the risk of choking necessitates immediate action.

Consumers should take these dolls away from children immediately. They may return the dolls for a full refund to the retailer where they were purchased or to S & H Wholesale Corp. at 6619 Loy Road, East Syracuse, New York 13057. Retailers should stop selling the dolls and contact S & H Wholesale Corp. For more information, consumers can call S & H at 315-437-1366 or the CPSC toll-free hotline at 800-633-CPSC.
