Plain-English summary

Fisher-Price, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), announced a safety modification for the No. 1019 Fun Bus toy. The toy, introduced in 1989, features a roller on the roof wrapped in a thin band of decorative plastic with letters and numbers. Fisher-Price received approximately seven reports of children chewing on the roller, with a few removing the plastic band and beginning to choke on it. This presents a potential life-threatening situation for children.

Approximately 160,000 of these toys were sold nationwide at an approximate retail price of $16.99. New production of the Fun Bus does not contain the plastic band on the roller.

Consumers owning the Fun Bus should immediately remove the plastic band by tearing it with a ball-point pen and discarding it. Those with questions can contact Fisher-Price at 1-800-233-4004.
