Plain-English summary
JA-RU, Inc. is conducting a replacement program for baby doll pacifiers included in its Model No. 1058 "NEW BABY" dolls in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The pacifiers violate CPSC's small parts regulation, creating a potential for accidental ingestion.
Approximately 30,984 dolls were sold nationwide between January 2, 1987, and April 17, 1989, for $1.99. The dolls are approximately 6 inches long, featuring a vinyl head and limbs attached to a soft body, and are dressed in pink or blue pajama-style outfits. The pacifier is attached to the doll's neck by a string.
Neither the company nor the CPSC has received reports of ingestion or injury associated with the pacifier. Consumers are advised to discard the original doll pacifier immediately. Those seeking a free baby milk bottle replacement can contact JA-RU, Inc. at (904) 733-9311 or by mail at 4030 Phillips Highway, Jacksonville, Florida 32207.
