The airplanes measure three inches in length with a wingspan of two and one-quarter inches. Embossed on the bottom of each airplane are the words "BUDDY L CORP. 1989 PATENT PENDING MADE IN CHINA." Each airplane is a different color with two black tires in the back and one smaller black tire in the front. Some of the airplanes have "BUDDY L" printed on the sides. The package reads in part: "Pull 'Em Back Let 'Em Zip,! Motorized Zippers Airplanes, Buddyl ACTION...China." The Motorized Zippers Airplanes were sold nationwide in retail and toy stores from January 1989 to February 1991. The sales price ranged from approximately $2.00 to $7.50 each depending on the model. CPSC discovered the violative toy during routine retail surveillance. Neither the CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving this product. This voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.
