Plain-English summary
The Mitchell Import Company is voluntarily recalling approximately 174,000 "Siren Whistle" toys. The recalled products consist of sets of six solid-color plastic whistles in red, blue, pink, orange, green, and yellow, each measuring 1-3/4 inches long. These toys were sold nationwide from 1988 to 1989 for approximately $0.75 per package.
The recall is being issued because the whistles break apart easily, causing small parts to separate. These small parts could be ingested by young children, posing a potential fatal choking hazard. Neither the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) nor The Mitchell Import Company is aware of any injuries associated with the toy, but the corrective action is being taken to prevent this possibility.
Consumers who have these "Whistle Toys" should take them away from children and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund of the purchase price. Consumers with questions may contact The Mitchell Import Company, Inc. at 1-800-648-2426.
