CPSC, Shelcore Inc. Announce Recall Children's Play Tables to Replace Mallets
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Shelcore Inc., of Somerset, N.J., is voluntarily
recalling about 124,000 "Stand-Up 'N Play Tables" to replace the
xylophone mallets. The mallet that comes as part of this table set can
be lodged into the throats of young children, posing a choking hazard.
Shelcore received a report of the mallet being jammed into the
throat of a 13-month old boy after he fell while teething on the ball
end of the mallet. Lacerations in the throat resulted when an adult had
to forcibly remove the mallet to prevent choking.
The "Stand-Up 'N Play Table" measures 14 inches long, 14 inches
wide and 13 inches high. The multi-colored play table includes a
telephone, clicking dial, spinner, push-button squeaker, rolling ball,
spinning gears, xylophone and mallet, three colorful shapes, and a shape
sorter. The tray of the table is white, and the legs are red with yellow
caps at the base. Writing on the box reads, "Ages 9-36 Months," and
"Encourages Child to Pull-Up and Stand."
Toy stores nationwide sold these play tables from March 1996
through March 1999 for between $18 and $20.
Consumers should immediately throw the recalled mallets in the
trash, and call Shelcore for a free replacement mallet. For more
information, call Shelcore at (800) 777-0453 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
ET Monday through Friday, or write to Shelcore Inc., 347 Elizabeth Ave.,
Somerset, NJ 08873-1101.
 Consumers can also view a video clip about this recall (transcript). This is in "streaming video" format.
