Plain-English summary

F.W. Woolworth Corporation is voluntarily recalling 34,000 craft "Pom Pom Pet" Assortments, Item #50303. These fuzzy animal toys, which include chickens, rabbits, or ducks, were distributed nationwide in late January 1990 and sold for 99 cents per bag. The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

The recall is necessary because the feet and eye components are small parts that can detach. If detached, these parts present a choking or aspiration hazard to young children. The CPSC identified the potential hazard during a joint import surveillance program with the U.S. Customs Service in New Orleans.

Neither the CPSC nor Woolworth is aware of any injuries or complaints involving these toys. Consumers should immediately remove the items from the reach of young children and return them to the Woolworth store where they were purchased to receive a refund.
