Larami Pop Up Answer Phone Toys Recalled for Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

Larami Corporation is recalling 20,000 units of the "Pop Up Answer Phone" toy, model #1808-0. The recall was initiated because an inch-and-a-half long plastic antenna projecting from the top of the telephone receiver may separate from the toy, creating a potential choking hazard for young children. The toy consists of a red and white base and a blue receiver, and was sold nationwide in 1987 for approximately $10.

The affected toys are identified by the model number 1808-0 on the package and adhesive labels on the base and receiver. A similar toy manufactured by Larami that features an adhesive red dot on the telephone receiver and the front of the package is not affected by this recall. The issue was brought to the attention of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) by OSPIRG, the Oregon State Public Interest Research Group.

Parents who have the affected model #1808-0 "Pop Up Answer Phone" not marked with a red dot should immediately remove the toy from the reach of young children. Consumers can return the toy to the store where it was purchased for a full refund or mail it to Larami Corporation at 340 North 12th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107.
