Plain-English summary

Wompkee Inc. of Portland, Maine, is recalling 2,400 Wompkee plush toys in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall was announced on February 6, 1995. The toys are approximately 12 inches high with a beige face, green body, and white fur accents. The specific hazard involves flexible wire shapers inside the beige ears that can protrude through the plush fabric, presenting a sharp point hazard for young children.

Although no complaints or injuries have been reported to Wompkee, the company is taking this action as a preventive measure after reporting the potential hazard to CPSC. The toys were sold in a set with a cassette tape and paperback book entitled "The Wompkee's First Grand Adventure" for approximately $20.00. The sets were sold only in Maine and New Hampshire at Bookland, Mr. Paperback, Levinsky's, Blueberries and Granite in the Maine Mall, or My Maine Bag in the Bangor Mall since November 25, 1994.

Consumers should immediately return the toys to any of the listed stores or mail them to Wompkee, Inc. Recall, P.O. Box 415, Newfane, VT 05345. Consumers will receive a new and improved Wompkee toy, plus reimbursement for postage costs, within six to eight weeks.
