Plain-English summary

JA-RU, Inc. is offering to replace specific parts of its "Play to Learn" furniture set, Model No. 1411, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The set consists of two play figures and several plastic furniture components. Three components of the set violate CPSC's small parts regulation.

The plastic lounge chair and two play figures (a boy and a girl) are considered small parts that may present a choking hazard to young children. Neither the company nor the CPSC has received any reports of ingestion or injury associated with these components.

Approximately 144,000 sets were sold nationwide from January 1987 to December 1989 for $1.59 each. Consumers should immediately remove the original plastic lounge chair and the plastic boy and girl figures from their children.
