Fisher-Price recalls 15K infant toys

By Staff -- Gifts and Dec, 8/7/2008 10:14:00 AM

Fisher-Price Learning Pots & PansWASHINGTON—Fisher-Price, East Aurora, N.Y., is recalling 15,000 Learning Pots & Pans sets because they pose a possible choking hazard.

Missing screws in the set's blue toy pan can cause the clear plastic cover to come loose and release small balls, presenting a choking hazard to young children, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Fisher-Price has received five reports of the plastic covers detaching and releasing the small balls. No injuries have been reported.

The recall involves Learning Pots & Pans sets with stackable pots and pans, a lid and shape-sorting blocks. The toys have light and sound features that operate on three AA batteries. Model number G6685 is located on the bottom of the blue pan.

The toys were sold at discount department and toy stores nationwide from October 2007 to August 2008 for about $20. They were made in China.

Consumers are asked to examine the bottom of the blue pan to determine whether or not to return the product to Fisher-Price. The pan should contain six screws. If all six screws are installed, no further action is necessary. If any screws are missing, consumers should contact Fisher-Price to arrange for the return of the blue pan for a replacement.

Fisher-Price can be reached at (888) 521-0820. More information is available online at www.service.mattel.com.

Kidding Around

Kids products that combine high play value and a design sensibility that blends with mom and dad's house are sure winners for specialty shops, who can market themselves as an alternative to cheap plastic imports and their problematic safety records.

EcoGreen

Green products have become more of a staple now. The products are not only good for the environment, today's collections also boast great design.

Just for Fun

Vendors' sense of fun was evident this summer with many offering light-hearted and fun accessories for the home and for the self.
