Plain-English summary

Largo Toys of New York is voluntarily recalling all models of "Cutie Pie" dolls due to potential choking hazards. The dolls, which measure five-and-a-quarter inches tall, have arms that can be pulled off. Additionally, the doll-size high chairs, strollers, cribs, rocking horses, and bathtubs sold in combination with the dolls contain small parts that may also pose choking hazards for young children.

The dolls feature soft plastic bodies in brown or white and hair in blond, black, or brown. They were sold singly or with accessories in blue, pink, or white plastic. All recalled dolls carry the label "Largo Toys, New York 20222" on the back of the head, and some have "Made in China" imprinted on the back of the body. Model numbers printed on the packaging include 86196, 86201, 86203, 86205, 86207, 86209, 86210, 86211, 86214, and 86691.

In 1988, approximately 30,000 "Cutie Pie" dolls were sold in retail stores nationwide for $5 to $15. No injuries involving the dolls have been reported to the firms or to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Consumers should immediately take the dolls away from young children and return the doll and accessories to the store where purchased for a refund of the full purchase price.
