Plan Toys penguin WASHINGTON—Plan Toy of Mountain View, Calif., is recalling 3,000 toy penguin figurines because they pose a potential laceration hazard, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The CPSC says the head of the penguin toy can detach, exposing connectors with sharp points, presenting a laceration hazard to consumers. Plan has received one report of the head of a penguin toy detaching. No injuries have been reported.

The wood penguin-shaped toy has a black head with rubber fins, a yellow nose and a white body with red on the base. The toy is round-shaped and creates a soft bell jingle when spun. The toy measures about 3¾ inches in height and about 3 inches in diameter. “PLAN TOYS” and UPC number 084543521109 or EAN number 8854740052117 are printed on the outside of the packaging of the toy.

The recalled toys were sold at specialty toy stores nationwide and on-line from May 2007 through February 2008 for between $15 and $20. They were made in Thailand.

Plan is asking consumers to return the toys to their place of purchase to receive a refund. For further details, contact Plan Toys (866) 517-7526 or visit its website at www.plantoys.com.
