Plain-English summary

Toys "R" Us, Inc. is voluntarily recalling 15,000 Crib Pals "Play Shapes" sets because they may pose a potential choking hazard to young children due to small pieces. The recalled sets contain four plastic pieces in different shapes and colors: a cone with a whistle, a cube with a mirror, a cylinder, and a circle with a ball that rattles. The product fails to meet the mandatory standard for baby rattles intended to prevent choking accidents.

The toys were sold nationwide during 1988 and 1989 through Toys "R" Us, Inc. stores for $2.99 per package. The packaging is a blister pack labeled "Crib Pals Play Shapes, SKN 157198, Ages 1 and up, Lucky Star Enterprises, Made in Taiwan." Neither the CPSC nor Toys "R" Us, Inc. is aware of any injuries associated with the toy, but the recall is being taken to prevent the possibility of harm.
