Toys-R-Us Recalls Baby Rattle And Colorforms Puzzles
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission, Toys-R-Us of Rochelle Park, New Jersey, is
recalling Colorforms #150 Story Book Puzzles and Crib Pals Shake
and Twist Baby Rattles, #098132, because they violate safety
requirements and present a potential choking hazard.
The Colorforms #150 Story Book Puzzles are five piece
wooden puzzles in two models: The "Pinky Brite Bear" and the
"Rosy Brite Bear". The puzzles are packaged in brightly colored
boxes labeled, "COLORFORMS WOOD N' PEG BRITE BEAR STORY BOOK
PUZZLE, AGES 1 l/2 TO 3 YEARS. MADE IN COSTA RICA DISTRIBUTED BY
LASH DISTRIBUTORS, ROCHELLE PARK, NJ 07662.
Some of the pieces of the puzzles are small parts and
present a potential choking hazard. The Department of Consumer
Protection for the State of Connecticut identified this
violation.
Approximately 12,000 of these puzzles were sold nationwide
from September '86 to December '87 through Toys-R-Us Stores for
approximately $5.97.
The Crib Pals Shake N' Twist Baby Rattle, #098132, measures
5 l/2 inches by 1 3/4 inches. One end has a ball 1 l/2 inches in
diameter which contains liquid and six colored pellets. The
other end contains a squeaker 1 3/4 inches in diameter. The
rattler can break during use, and the broken pieces present a
potential choking hazard.
The rattle is packaged on a card labeled, "CRIB PALS SHAKE

MANUFACTURED BY SHIN NIHON TSUSHO JAPAN." Approximately 24,000 of
these rattles were sold nationwide from March '86 to December '87
through Toys-R-Us stores for approximately $1.48.
Although the CPSC and Toys-R-Us have not received reports
of any injuries or deaths involving the Colorforms puzzles or the
Shake and Twist baby rattles, consumers should take these toys
away from children and return them to any Toys-R-Us store for a
full refund of the purchase price.
