CPSC, Tiger Electronics, Ltd. Announce Recall to Replace "Pooh Poppin'
Piano" Toys
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Tiger Electronics, Ltd., of Vernon Hills, Ill., is
voluntarily recalling to replace approximately 202,000 Pooh Poppin'
Piano toys. The green "leafy" top section of the carrot-shaped
microphone attached to the piano toy can break off, posing a choking
hazard to young children.
Tiger has received three reports of the leafy top of the
microphone breaking off. There are no reports of injuries.
Only pianos with serial numbers starting with "WT" or "CO15D" are
part of this program. The serial number is printed in two places: on a
small label located inside the battery compartment, and on the bottom of
the retail package. The piano toy is mostly lime green with eight
characters from the "Winnie the Pooh" series that move up and down in
response to pressing down corresponding piano keys. The orange and green
microphone attaches to the piano with a short cord that amplifies sound.
The toy announces eight color names, and plays piano sounds and eight
pre-programmed children's songs.
Toy and discount department sold these toys nationwide from August
1997 through August 1999 for about $20.
Parents and caregivers should take these toys away from children
immediately, and contact Tiger for instructions on returning it for a
free replacement Pooh Poppin' Piano toy. For more information, call
Tiger toll-free at (800) 844-3733 anytime, or go to their web site at
www.game.com/tigertoys/recall.htm.
