Graco Recalls Stationary Entertainers Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

Graco Children's Products Inc. is recalling approximately 19,000 stationary Entertainers in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall involves model numbers 4118RA, 4118C, and 34429, which were manufactured between April 24, 1998, and August 6, 1998. These units were sold at discount, department, and juvenile product stores nationwide, including Toys R Us and Sears, for approximately $59 to $69.

The hazard exists because the screw securing the clicker toy to the Entertainer's tray can come out, presenting a choking hazard to young children. CPSC and Graco have received eight reports of children rotating the toy until the screw detached. In one instance, a child started choking on the screw and sustained scratches in the throat, while two other children sustained scratches on their face or stomach.

Consumers should immediately remove the clicker toy from the Entertainer. To receive a free repair kit, which includes a redesigned replacement screw and installation instructions, consumers should call Graco at (800) 345-4109 or write to Customer Affairs, Graco Children's Products Inc., P.O. Box 100, Elverson, PA 19520.
