Plain-English summary

Lil Mort Sales of Chicago, Illinois, is voluntarily recalling six small wind-up toys and klacker balls imported from Taiwan. The affected products include Funny Action planes, trains, and helicopters; Busy Animals turtles and frogs; a Stretch Tail Pup pull-action dog; and Klacker Balls. These items were sold nationwide during the two years prior to the recall announcement for less than the amount specified in the original notice.

The recall is being issued because the toys pose potential hazards to young children. Specific risks include the Stretch Tail Pup's ears separating, the Whistling Funny Action Toys' propellers and wind-up keys detaching, and the Busy Animals' arms, wind-up keys, or turtle feet breaking off. Additionally, the Klacker Balls are banned because the balls may separate from the string, potentially causing injury to users or bystanders.

Consumers should immediately take the toys away from children and destroy them or return them to the store of purchase for a full refund. For more information, consumers may call Lil Mort Sales at 312-545-4141.
