Scoop Pour 'N Squirt and
Bath Time Pals bath toys
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Sassy Inc., of Kentwood, Mich., is voluntarily
replacing about 370,000 squirting fish in the Scoop Pour 'N Squirt and
Bath Time Pals bath toys.
The fish's size, texture, shape and easy compressibility make it
possible for an infant to compress the toy and place it in his or her
mouth. If the toy reaches the back of the mouth and expands, it may
block the child's airway.
CPSC and Sassy are aware of one report of an infant who put the
toy fish in his mouth gagged and vomited and two other reports of
infants who put the toy fish in their mouths and started to choke.
Sassy is working cooperatively with the CPSC in taking action to correct
this problem.
The Scoop Pour 'N Squirt bath toy set has a large, colorful
plastic fish-shaped scoop with a green textured handle and a spout for
pouring water. This set comes with two small plastic squirting fish.
The Bath Time Pals bath toy set comes with one squirting frog, two
squirting pearls and two squirting fish. The toys comply with toy
safety regulations.
Mass merchandise stores and toy stores sold these toys nationwide
from February 1999 to December 2000 for about $5.
Consumers should immediately take these squirting fish away from
young children and throw them away. For additional information or to
receive replacement squirt toys contact Sassy at (800) 764-8323.
