Plain-English summary

Oriental Trading Company, Inc. is voluntarily recalling five children's items, including plastic toy maracas, plastic toy baby bottles, heart-shaped stretchable bracelets, stretchable charm bracelets, and beaded charm necklaces. These items were sold in toy stores, discount stores, and various other retail stores nationwide between 1985 and 1992.

The recall was initiated after CPSC testing revealed that small parts detached from each of the products, presenting a choking hazard to young children. The items were identified during an inspection of the firm by the CPSC. Neither the CPSC nor Oriental Trading Company is aware of any injuries involving these products; the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.

Consumers are urged to immediately take the recalled items away from young children and return them to the stores where purchased for a full refund.
