Plain-English summary

T.P.I. of Illinois, Inc. is voluntarily recalling three types of toys: the "Train Set," "Sweet Doll with Accessories," and "Baby's Rattle." These products were imported from China and sold in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan at 40 Dollar Bill$ stores between January 1991 and December 1991. The recall involves approximately 8,640 Train Sets, 1,600 Sweet Dolls, and 9,000 Baby's Rattles, all sold for $1.00 each.

The recall was initiated after CPSC testing revealed that small components separated from the toys, creating a choking hazard for young children. Specifically, the smoke stack separated from the Train Set engine, the moveable legs separated from the Sweet Doll, and the white plastic hooks separated from the Baby's Rattle. The company is out of business, and neither CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving these products.

Consumers are urged to take these toys away from young children immediately. Because the manufacturer is out of business, consumers should discard or destroy the products rather than seeking a refund or replacement.
