Product Description & Identification
May 26, 1992 Release # 92-085 PRODUCT: 11,616 Fish-Style Jolly Rattles (article 84567) sold at Midwest and East Coast Everything's A Dollar stores from November 17, 1991 to November 23,1991. The rattles sold for $1.00 each. PROBLEM: Beads inside the rattle may separate posing a potential choking or aspiration hazard for young children. WHAT TO DO: Take the rattles away from young children immediately and discard or destroy these products. Firm is out of business. WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Everything's A Dollar, Inc., of Milwaukee, WI is voluntarily recalling 11,616 Fish Style Jolly Rattles (article 84567). When CPSC tested the Jolly Rattle in accordance with regulations under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, three rings (on a rod between the fish's mouth and tail) and the beads inside the rattle separated, posing a potential choking or aspiration hazard for young children. The Jolly Rattle is a circular, fish-shaped plastic rattle containing beads and three colored discs on a rod. The rattle comes in a variety of colors, and measures 3-1/2 inches in diameter. It has an opening at the top of the fish's back which creates a handle for small hands to hold. The rattle is sold in a cardboard-backed blister package, with a label on the front of the cardboard backing which reads in part: " . . . JOLLY RATTLE, ART.84567, MADE IN CHINA." The Jolly Rattle, imported by Everything's A Dollar, was sold on the East Coast and in the Midwest exclusively at 73 Everything's A Dollar retail stores from November 17, 1991 to November 23, 1991. The rattle sold for a retail price of $1.00 each. Consumers are urged to take the rattles away from young children immediately and discard or destroy these products. Firm is out of business. Neither CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving this product. However, this voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. The potentially hazardous toys were identified at the Port of Chicago, IL, during a joint CPSC/U.S. Customs surveillance program. The CPSC is announcing this recall as part of its mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death associated with consumer products. The Commission's objective is to reduce the estimated 28.5 million injuries and 21,600 deaths associated each year with the 15,000 different types of consumer products under CPSC's jurisdiction
