Plain-English summary

Falcon Impex, Inc. of Schiller Park, Illinois, is voluntarily recalling two pull-along toys imported from Taiwan: the "Pull Along Happy Bear" and the "Bear Brother" pull toys. The recall was issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on August 4, 1988.

The "Pull Along Bear Brother" consists of two connected seven-inch tall plastic bears with blue feet that wobble when pulled. The noses of both bears can be removed, creating a small parts hazard. The "Pull Along Happy Bear" is a seven-inch tall yellow plastic bear riding between two plastic half-balls containing small colored balls. These small plastic balls present an ingestion hazard. Both toys are marked "Made in Taiwan" on the back.

Approximately 6,000 units were sold nationally in September and October 1987. Consumers should remove the toys from children and return them to the store of purchase for a full refund.
