Riding Rabbit Wind-Up Toy Recalled for Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

Dan Brechner and Co., Inc. of Floral Park, New York, is voluntarily recalling its "Riding Rabbit" wind-up toy in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The toy is made of yellow or pink plastic, is about six inches in height, and features a white face with an orange nose, a white stomach, and a decal of three stars and a blue cloud. When wound up, the rabbit's head rocks while it moves on a unicycle-like base.

The recall is being issued because the toy may break into small parts, which poses a potential choking hazard to young children. Approximately 5,400 of these toys were sold nationwide, particularly on the East Coast, from January 1988 to February 1989 for approximately $5.00 each. The CPSC identified the small part violation after collecting and testing a sample for compliance with safety requirements. Neither the CPSC nor the manufacturer is aware of any injuries associated with this toy.

Consumers who have these Riding Rabbits should immediately take them away from children and return them to the retailer where purchased for a full refund of the purchase price. Consumers with questions regarding this recall may contact Robert L. Follick, Esq., at (212) 233-6630.
