Mangelsen's Recalls Cupie Dolls Due to Choking Hazard from Detaching Arms

Plain-English summary

Mangelsen's of Omaha, Nebraska, is voluntarily recalling twelve models of soft plastic baby dolls known as Cupie Dolls. These dolls were sold as home craft products under the "Doll Craftin" label starting in June 1982. The recalled models include various sizes and styles, such as the Curly-One, Honey Bun, and Sitting Honey Dolls, as well as specific model numbers ranging from 155-67 to 158-82.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) conducted tests that revealed the dolls' arms may come off. These detached arms present a choking hazard to young children. The dolls are described as soft plastic, unclothed baby dolls with rooted fake hair, yarn hair, or molded hair. They were originally sold in clear plastic bags with cardboard headers indicating they were made in Hong Kong or Taiwan.

Consumers who possess these recalled dolls should immediately take them away from young children. To obtain a remedy, consumers should return the dolls to Mangelsen's, Inc., at 5455 South 90th Street, Omaha, NE 68127, for a refund of the full purchase price and postage. Alternatively, consumers may request the next largest size doll, which does not contain hazardous small parts.
