McCrory Recalls Sweet Family Blessings Baby Dolls Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

McCrory Corporation is voluntarily recalling approximately 89,000 "Sweet Family Blessings Baby" dolls, item numbers 208363 and 208371, model number 6957. The dolls are three inches tall with vinyl heads and bodies, blond rooted hair, and painted eyes. Each doll was sold in a blister pack with a comb, a brush, and one of six accessory styles: a rocking horse, cradle, high chair, stroller, bathtub, or a bed.

The recall is being conducted because the arms and legs on the dolls could detach and become a choking hazard to young children. Neither the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) nor the company is aware of any injuries involving these dolls. The potentially hazardous dolls were identified by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection and reported to CPSC.

These dolls were sold nationwide between July 1, 1989, and October 31, 1992, by Britts, Elmore, McCrory, H.L. Green, Kress, McClellan, T.G. and Y., Silver, J.J. Newberry, and G.C. Murphy, along with some independent variety stores. Each doll set sold for approximately $2.00. Consumers are urged to take the dolls away from young children immediately and return them to the stores where purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers may call McCrory Corporation toll-free at 1-800-284-3704.
