Tara Toy Recalls Sesame Street Nursery Sets Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

Tara Toy Corporation is voluntarily recalling approximately 12,000 units of the "Sesame Street Nursery Set," style number 71700, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall is limited to the specific nursery set that includes a blue bathtub with a white faucet and handles. The set also contains an Ernie finger puppet, a small rubber duck, and a swing set.

The CPSC identified the hazard during testing under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. The faucet and handle of the bathtub portion can separate during tension testing, creating small parts that may pose a choking hazard for young children. Neither the CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving this product.

These sets were sold nationwide from February 1991 to September 1991 for approximately $4.00 each. Consumers are urged to take the nursery sets containing the bathtub accessory away from children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund of the purchase price. Consumers with questions may contact Tara Toy Corporation at (516) 273-8810.
