Plain-English summary

The Berton Company of Commerce, California, is voluntarily recalling approximately 14,000 Kidentails Roll-Back Toys. The recall was initiated after CPSC testing identified that the toys contain small parts that pose a potential choking hazard to young children. The toys were identified during a joint CPSC and U.S. Customs surveillance at the port of Long Beach, California.

The recalled toy is a multi-colored plastic wheel with a weighted plastic bear suspended on a rubber band axle. It is packaged in clear plastic with a cardboard header labeled "Kidentails Roll-back Toy...Item No. K2539...MADE IN CHINA." The toys were imported from China and sold nationwide from December 1992 to November 1994 at Walgreen, Ralphs, Longs, Luckys, Food 4 Less, and other independent toy retail stores for $3.69.

Neither CPSC nor The Berton Company is aware of any injuries involving these toys; the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. Consumers should take the toys away from young children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. For more information, call The Berton Company toll-free at (800) 227-0522 or write to 7101 East Slauson Avenue, Commerce, CA 90040-9971.
