Plain-English summary
Patagonia Inc. is voluntarily recalling 3,000 Patagonia Penguino stuffed penguin toys. The recall was initiated because the toys' plastic eyes may detach, creating a potential choking hazard for young children. The toys are made of pile and Synchilla, a soft, fuzzy material, and come in eight colors: light plum, sea green, prussian blue, teal green, bluegrass, red-violet, eggplant, and cobalt. They feature a printed underbelly, yellow beaks and feet, bushy grayish-white eyebrows, and a visible Patagonia label on the right wing.
Patagonia sold the toys for $18.00 from July 1994 through February 1995 via the company's mail order Kid's catalog and Patagonia-owned retail stores. Although no injuries have been reported to Patagonia or the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the company reported the potential hazard to prevent possible future injuries.
Consumers are urged to take the stuffed animals away from young children immediately. To obtain a full refund and a $25 gift certificate for other Patagonia products, consumers should contact Patagonia at (800) 338-6464 or return the toys directly to a Patagonia retail store.
