Plain-English summary
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Arcotoys Inc., a Mattel company, are voluntarily recalling 200,000 portable Disney Play 'N Pop Activity Toys. The recall affects only units produced in China, which can be identified by the word "China" molded on the bottom of the toy. These toys, intended for children aged 9 to 36 months, were sold nationwide in 1994 for approximately $13 in toy, department, and specialty stores.
The recall is being issued because a small purple key shaped like Mickey Mouse's head can break off from the toy, creating a potential choking hazard for young children. Arcotoys received 13 consumer reports regarding this issue. Although no injuries have been reported to the company, several consumers stated that their children started to choke on the toy pieces. Company testing indicates the product complies with CPSC and industry standards, but the recall is being conducted to prevent possible future injuries.
Consumers should take the recalled toys away from children immediately. To obtain a full refund, including postage, and a discount coupon, consumers should return the toys by mail to Arcotoys at 15930 East Valley Boulevard, City of Industry, CA 91744, Attention: Nancy Nelson. Consumers can also call Arcotoys at (800) 442-2664 for assistance.
