Plain-English summary

Star Sales Company Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 2,200 "Baby Snack" and 3,300 "Boat and Trailer" toy sets. These products were sold nationwide at independent toy and retail stores between January 1993 and June 1994 for $1.99 each. The "Baby Snack" set includes two bottles, a dish, a bottle cleaner, a spoon, and three empty boxes of make-believe baby food. The "Boat and Trailer" set includes a car, a trailer, a boat, and two figures.

The recall was initiated because the sets contain small parts that are a choking risk to children under age three. Kentucky's Product Safety Branch reported the hazard to the CPSC, and CPSC testing confirmed that the caps on the baby bottles in the "Baby Snack" sets and the figures in the "Boat and Trailer" sets are small enough to choke young children. Neither CPSC nor Star Sales Company Inc. is aware of any injuries involving these toys; the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.

Consumers should take the recalled toys away from young children immediately and return them to the stores where they were purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers can call Star Sales Company Inc. at (800) 347-9494 or write to the company at 1803 North Central Street, Knoxville, TN 37901.
