Plain-English summary

Toy Wonders, Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 2,000 "See-Thru Bi-Planes," model C9071. The toy bi-plane is 5-1/2 inches long and 3-1/2 inches high, featuring a clear body with multi-colored gears, yellow wings and propeller, and a red pilot's head. The propeller spins and gears turn when the plane is pushed. A decal on the top wing reads "907 Skeletplane," and "MADE IN CHINA . . . U.S.A. 1992, U.K. 1992 MCT" is embossed underneath the lower wing.

The recall is due to a potential choking hazard to young children, as the propellers and exhaust pipes may separate. This issue was identified during routine CPSC testing. Neither CPSC nor Toy Wonders is aware of any injuries involving the toy, and the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.

The toys were sold in the northeast United States from December 1992 through March 1994 by companies such as I.C.M. Co., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Jack Pot, New York, New York; and Roses Co. The retail price was $3.00 each. Consumers are urged to take the planes away from young children and return the toys to the stores where purchased for a refund. Questions may be directed to Lu Su at Toy Wonders at the toll-free number (800) 229-1722.
