Plain-English summary

Toy-O-Rama, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is voluntarily recalling approximately 33,000 stuffed dogs, mice, bears, and rabbits. The recall involves specific velour stuffed animals, including a dark pink dog, a red mouse, a white bear, and rabbits in yellow, pink, or blue. These items were sold between October 1995 and February 1996 for about $4 at chain drug stores, craft stores, and grocery stores, including Genovese Drug Stores, H.E.B. Grocery, and Omni Superstores.

The recall is being conducted because the plastic eyes on the stuffed animals can come apart. Young children can choke or inhale these small plastic parts into their lungs. CPSC and Toy-O-Rama are not aware of any injuries involving these toys, but the recall is intended to prevent the possibility of injury.

Consumers should take the stuffed animals away from children under three years old immediately. To obtain a full refund, consumers should return the toys to the store where they were purchased. For more information, consumers can contact Marti Ray of Children's Marketing Partners at 310-474-7607.
