Busy School Bus toys
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Playskool, of Pawtucket, R.I., is voluntarily
recalling to replace about 12,500 Busy School Bus toys. On certain
units, the yellow "awning" piece above the bus' door can break loose,
posing a choking hazard to young children.
Playskool has received five reports of the yellow awning piece
breaking loose. No injuries were reported.
Only item number 5527 toys with date codes 91671 through 91883 are
being recalled to replace. The item number and date code are printed on
the bottom of the toy. A yellow Playskool logo is imprinted on one side
and "MADE IN CHINA" imprinted on the bottom.
Playskool's Busy School Bus toy is an 8-1/2 inch-long yellow
plastic school bus-shaped toy with a carry handle and blue wheels. The
front of the Busy School Bus toy has a smiling face and a male figure
that moves up and down when a child rolls the toy. A bell rings when
the toy is rolled and when the sliding red stop sign is moved back and
forth. One side of the toy features a green door with a red Playskool
logo and a yellow awning piece. When the door is opened, a decal of a
child with animals is revealed.
Mass merchandise and toy stores sold these toys nationwide for
about $10. The toys were sold from June 1999 through January 2001.
Consumers should take these toys away from young children
immediately, and contact Playskool at (888) 510-1561 anytime or visit
the firm's web site at http://www.hasbro.com/consumer/safety.html to
receive a free toy of equal value.
Busy School Bus toys, with item number 5527 but with date codes
lower than 91671 or higher than 91883 are not part of this recall to
replace program.
