Plain-English summary
Toys "R" Us, Inc. is voluntarily recalling 9,600 "Siren Whistle" toys due to a potential choking hazard. The recalled products are sets of five or eight solid-color plastic whistles, measuring 1-3/4 inches long, manufactured in Taiwan. The specific items identified are "Siren Whistles" by Lucky Star Enterprises (#69096) and Unique Industries (#8848).
The whistles are prone to breaking apart easily, which causes small parts to separate and potentially be ingested by young children. The company initiated the recall after receiving a consumer complaint stating that a child sucked a metal noisemaker from the whistle into their mouth and subsequently coughed it out. Neither the CPSC nor Toys "R" Us is aware of any injuries associated with the toy, but the action is being taken to prevent potential harm.
These toys were sold nationwide in the first quarter of 1989 through Toys "R" Us, Inc. stores for prices ranging from $.89 to $.97 per package. Consumers should immediately take the toys away from children and return them to the nearest Toys "R" Us, Inc. store for a full refund. Questions regarding the recall can be directed to Toys "R" Us, Inc. at 1-800-548-0364.
