Tai Tung Recalls Musical Ice Cream Vans and Lovely Dolls for Choking Hazards

Plain-English summary

Tai Tung International, Inc. is voluntarily recalling Musical Ice Cream Vans (Model TT-28A) and Lovely Dolls (Models D13/3 and C1372) in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall addresses a hazard where small parts can break off the toys if dropped. These detached parts pose a fatal choking hazard to young children. Additionally, some of the small parts have sharp points that could cause puncture or laceration injuries.

The Musical Ice Cream Van is a red plastic vehicle with decals and a crank mechanism, sold nationwide for $12.00 each since May 1987. Approximately 48,210 units were sold. The Lovely Dolls are plastic female dolls with rooted hair and fabric dresses, sold in soft plastic bags. Model D13/3 consists of three five-inch dolls, while Model C1372 includes two dolls of varying heights. Approximately 7,560 units of Model D13/3 and 29,376 units of Model C1372 were sold nationwide for under $3.00 each since February 1989. The arms of the dolls come off easily, presenting a choking hazard.

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. Consumers with questions may contact Tai Tung International at (213) 680-0044.
