Woolworth Corporation of New York, NY is voluntarily recalling 34,000 craft "Pom Pom Pet" Assortments, Item #50303, which it first distributed nationwide in late January 1990 because of small parts that could be fatal to young children. This recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

The craft Pom Pom Assortment consists of two-inch tall fuzzy chickens, rabbits, or ducks packaged two per plastic bag. The label on the package states "D/173 C/561 SKU 86442 Distributed by F. W.
