Plain-English summary
G. Pierce Toy Manufacturing Company of Chicago, IL, is voluntarily recalling approximately 12,000 "Bright Reflections" crib mirrors sold during 1988. The recall is prompted by a potential strangulation risk, as the flexible plastic edging may separate from the mirror. The company received one complaint that a child's head became entrapped between the edging and the mirror, although no injury occurred.
The affected product is a 12-inch by 16-inch shatter-resistant mirror intended for use in cribs and playpens. It features three one-inch wide slots for attachment straps, which may be Velcro or nylon with plastic buckles. The plastic edging is either blue or red. The mirror itself lacks manufacturer identification or labeling, but comes with a decal featuring a yellow bear and the words "Bright Reflections." The majority of these units were sold nationally in Toys R Us stores between December 1987 and October 1988 for approximately $10.
Consumers who possess a "Bright Reflections" mirror should immediately remove it from children. To obtain a refund, consumers should return the mirror to the retailer. Alternatively, consumers may return the mirror directly to G. Pierce Toy Manufacturing Company at 4420 S. Wolcott Street, Chicago, IL 60609, to receive a new mirror with the edging securely attached.
