Plain-English summary

Hasbro, Inc. is voluntarily recalling its "Love-A-Bye Baby" doll line in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall was initiated because the CPSC determined that the doll's arms, baby bottle, and comb are small parts that could present a serious choking hazard to young children under three years of age.

The affected dolls are 3-1/2 inches tall and come in black or white with curly or straight hair, with and without hair ribbons. The sets include a Love-A-Bye Baby doll, a 1-1/2 inch baby bottle, and a two-inch comb, and were sold for between $2.00 and $5.00 each. Approximately 3,749,000 units were distributed nationwide from December 1987 to March 1989. Other Love-A-Bye doll accessories sold separately are not part of this recall.

Consumers should take the doll, baby bottle, and comb away from young children immediately. They may return the items to the store where purchased for a refund or to Hasbro, Inc. at 450 Division Street, Pawtucket, RI 02861 for a refund. For further information, consumers can call 1-800-242-7276. Neither the CPSC nor Hasbro is aware of any injuries or complaints involving the product.
