Plain-English summary

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Division Sales Inc. of Chicago, Illinois, is recalling over 26,000 Baby Buzz stretch mobiles. The recalled toys consist of four plastic balls and plastic animal figures strung on elastic, with white plastic hooks on each end. The toys were sold nationwide at Dollar Value and other discount stores from December 1995 to December 1996 for approximately $1.00.

The recall is being conducted because the toy presents a risk of strangulation if hung across a crib or playpen. The product is not labeled to warn consumers about this risk or to advise against attaching the toy to cribs or playpens. CPSC and Division Sales are not aware of any injuries involving these toys, and the recall is intended to prevent the possibility of injury.

Consumers should stop using the recalled toys immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. Consumers with questions can call Division Sales at (800) 621-8134 or write to the company at 1311 Meacham Road, Itasca, Ill. 60143.
