CPSC, Dolgencorp Inc. Announce Recall of Toy Xylophones Sold at Dollar
General Stores
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Dolgencorp Inc., of Goodlettsville, Tenn., is
voluntarily recalling about 113,000 toy xylophones. The red mallet sold
with the toy xylophone can get lodged in the throats of young children,
posing a choking hazard.
CPSC and Dolgencorp Inc. are not aware of any injuries involving these
toy xylophones. This recall is being conducted to prevent the
possibility of injury.
The toy xylophone is white, rectangular-shaped with a green handle and
multi-colored bars including, red, yellow, green and blue. A yellow
button shaped like the face of a cat is on the front of the xylophone.
The mallet sold with the xylophone is red with two round balls at either
end of the mallet. Writing on the box reads, "BABY TOYS XYLOPHONE, TO
HELP BABY LEARN AND DEVELOP, and MADE IN CHINA."
Dollar General stores nationwide sold these toy xylophones from July
1998 through October 2000 for $3.
Consumers should immediately take this toy away from children and return
it to their local Dollar General store for a full refund. For more
information, call Dollar General at (800) 678-9258 between 8 a.m. and 5
p.m. CT Monday through Friday.
