Commission (CPSC), Creative Consumer Concepts Inc., of Overland Park,
Kan.,
and Whataburger Inc., of Corpus Christi, Texas, are voluntarily
recalling about 330,000
“Whatagear” compass toys. Creative Consumer Concepts Inc. manufactured
these
toys, which were distributed with kids’ meals at Whataburger
Restaurants. The clear,
plastic lens covers on these compass toys can come off and pose a
choking hazard
to young children.

lens covers
of the compass toys coming off. No injuries have been reported.
The “Whatagear” compass is a plastic toy with a compass in its center.
The toys
have varied features, such as flashlights, magnifying lenses or tools.
They come in
various solid colors. The back of the compass reads, “WHATAGEAR” and
“WHATABURGER.”
Whataburger Restaurants in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, New
Mexico,
Oklahoma and Texas distributed the toys from March 2001 through April
2001.
Parents should take these toys away from children immediately, and
return the toy
to any Whataburger Restaurant for a free replacement toy. For more
