Plain-English summary

Mackie International Inc. of Paramount, California, is voluntarily recalling the "Chilly Bang Bang Fruit Drink" plastic toy gun. The recall is due to a potential choking hazard for young children. The opening tab at the end of the gun barrel can separate and become a small part that could be ingested by small children.

Approximately 30,000 toy guns were sold in retail stores nationwide from April through May 1989 for approximately $0.30 each. The possible small parts problem was brought to the attention of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the company by the Empire State Consumer Association. The Hazardous Product Task Force of the New York Attorney General's office worked with the CPSC and the company on the corrective action plan.

Neither the CPSC nor Mackie International is aware of any injuries associated with the toy gun. The recall is undertaken as a preventive measure. Consumers should take the toy guns away from children immediately and return them to the retail store where purchased for a full refund.
