Rite-Aide Recalls L'il Bonnie'n Beth Dolls Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

Rite-Aide Corporation is voluntarily recalling "L'il Bonnie'n Beth" dolls, Style No. 303, which are seated in pull-toy cars. The dolls are white or black, with brown or blond hair, and are dressed in bright red, blue, and yellow cotton clothes. The "L'il Bonnie" dolls are seven inches tall, while the "Beth" dolls are four inches tall. The accompanying pull-toy automobile is made of blue or purple plastic with yellow wheels and is nine inches long. The label "LOVEE" is imprinted on the wheels and license plates.

The recall is being issued because some of the dolls' arms and legs can come off, creating a choking hazard for young children. Approximately 1,000 dolls were sold in Rite-Aide stores for about $5.00 in late summer 1988. The toys were imported from Hong Kong by Lovee Doll Company. U.S. Customs Services identified the potentially hazardous toys at the Port of Baltimore, Maryland, during "Operation Toyland," a joint surveillance program with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Consumers should take the dolls away from young children immediately. They should return the products to the nearest Rite-Aide store for a full refund of the purchase price.
