Plain-English summary

Kids II of Alpharetta, Georgia, is voluntarily recalling approximately 99,000 SnackTime Stroller Toy Bars, model number 669, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall was initiated because a rattle attached to the toy bar can break open, releasing small beads. These beads present a choking hazard, as children could inhale them into their lungs, potentially causing serious injury.

The affected toy bars measure approximately 14 inches long and three inches wide and feature four plastic figures: a flower, a caterpillar, a bear, and a frog. Two of the figures function as cup holders or bowls for food and bottles, while the others serve as games, including a stacking teether and a musical bear holding a rattle. The product was sold nationwide at various retail stores and discount centers from July 1995 to June 1996 for approximately $13 to $15. Kids II and CPSC are aware of one incident in which a child swallowed a piece of the toy but was not injured.

Consumers should stop using the toy bar immediately. To receive a replacement stroller toy bar, consumers should return the product to Kids II at 1015 Windward Ridge Parkway, Alpharetta, GA 30202, or call (770) 751-0442 for more information. SnackTime Stroller Toy Bars with model number 683 and a date code, available at stores after August 1, 1996, are not subject to this recall.
