CPSC, Battat Incorporated Announce Recall of Drumsticks Sold with Toy
Drum Sets
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Battat Incorporated, of Plattsburgh, NY, is
voluntarily recalling about 300,000 sets of toy drumsticks sold with the
Parents Bee Bop Band drum sets. The end piece of the drumstick handle
can break off, posing a choking hazard to young children. Additionally,
the screw at the end of the drumstick can loosen and detach, posing a
choking hazard.
Battat and CPSC have received about 240 reports of drumsticks
breaking and children mouthing the small pieces, including one report of
a child who began to choke.
The centipede-shaped drumsticks were sold with the Parents Bee Bop
Band drum set. They're about 10-inches long and were sold in either lime
green or blue with black stripes. Model numbers involved in this recall
are PM9137T2 and PM91372. The model numbers can be found above the UPC
code on the packaging.
Target, Sam's Club and smaller retailers sold the Parents Bee Bop
Band drum sets nationwide from November 2001 through March 2003 for
about $25.
Consumers should immediately take these drumsticks away from young
children and contact Battat for a replacement set of drumsticks. For
more information, consumers should contact Battat toll-free at (866)
617-9137 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
