Plain-English summary

Target Stores is voluntarily recalling "My First Buddys Wrecker Truck," "My First Buddys Pumper Truck," and "Potpourri Baby Doll" toys in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall addresses small parts that present potentially fatal choking hazards to young children. The recalled items were sold nationwide in Target Stores in 1988 and 1989.

The My First Buddys Wrecker Truck is an all-plastic toy with an orange body, yellow rails, and a blue pulley. The emergency light on top separates during use and abuse testing. The My First Buddys Pumper Truck is an all-plastic toy with a red body and yellow and white fire equipment. The yellow fire-fighting nozzle on top is a small part. The Potpourri Baby Dolls are 3-1/2 inches tall with moveable limbs; the arms and legs separate during use and abuse testing.

Neither the CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving these products. The recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. Consumers are urged to take these toys away from young children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund of the purchase price.
