Plain-English summary

Bee International is voluntarily recalling approximately 5,000 "Ma and Baby Bunny" plush toys in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall is due to a potential choking hazard, as the plastic eyes on the Baby Bunny may separate from the toy, creating small parts that are dangerous for young children.

The "Ma and Baby Bunny" toys were sold as part of Easter baskets, model number BK101, during the 1988 and 1989 Easter seasons. The baskets were sold nationwide by retail gift and specialty stores and included a variety of candy and novelty items. The "Ma Bunny" is approximately 12-1/2 inches tall and is either bright pink and white or yellow and white. The "Baby Bunny" is approximately six inches tall and is held in the arms of Ma Bunny. A label at the bottom of Ma Bunny reads "Bee International, Commerce, CA 90040, Made in China."

Neither the CPSC nor Bee International is aware of any injuries involving this product. The potentially hazardous toys were discovered during a CPSC inspection of the firm. Consumers who purchased the Easter baskets, model number BK101, may keep the Ma Bunny but are urged to take the Baby Bunny away from young children immediately. Consumers should return the Baby Bunny directly to Bee International at 6817 Acco Street, Commerce, CA 90040, Attention: Greg Hall, for a $1.00 refund of the price the Baby Bunny would have sold for if purchased separately, plus shipping costs. For more information, consumers may call Bee International at 1-213-728-0717.
