Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling approximately 75,000 "Cook N Clean Kitchen" toys manufactured by Amloid Company of Saddle Brook, NJ. The toys, which are designed for pre-school children, include a stove, sink, cupboard, pots, pans, utensils, and placemats made of blue, red, and yellow plastic. The recall is due to a risk that the temperature control knob on the stove and small red pegs on the back of the toy may come off, creating a choking hazard.

These toys were imported from Mexico and sold nationwide since April 1987 for approximately $6 to $8. They were packaged in a yellow plastic, fold-up carrying case. The potentially hazardous toys were identified by the U.S. Customs Service at the Port of Laredo, Texas, during "Operation Toyland," a joint surveillance program with the CPSC.

Consumers should immediately take the toy away from young children. The source text does not report any injuries or illnesses associated with this recall. Consumers are advised to return the toy to the store where it was purchased for a refund of the full purchase price.
