Plain-English summary

Remco Baby, Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 118,240 "Roll Back Wheel" toys, model number B356, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The toy is a ferris wheel featuring Muppet Babies' Kermit the Frog, consisting of two blue hard plastic spoked wheels. When CPSC tested the toy, small chips separated from the spokes, creating small parts that pose a potential aspiration hazard for young children.

The toys were imported by Remco Baby, Inc. and sold nationwide from January 1989 through December 1990 at various retail stores, including Ames Discount Stores, Inc., Rose's Stores, Inc., and Sears, Roebuck and Co., for $9.00 each. The potentially hazardous toy was identified at the Port of Newark during a joint CPSC/U.S. Customs import surveillance program.

Consumers are urged to take the toy away from young children immediately. To obtain a refund, consumers may return the toy to the store where it was purchased or mail it to Remco Baby, Inc. at 1107 Broadway, New York, NY 10018 for a full refund of the purchase price and shipping costs.
