Which ones are recalled?
March 20, 1990 Release # 90-053 Riding Rabbit Wind-Up Toy Recalled WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Dan Brechner and Co., Inc. of Floral Park, New York, is voluntarily recalling its “Riding Rabbit” wind-up toy because the toy may break into small parts posing a potential choking hazard to young children. The “Riding Rabbit” wind-up toy is made of yellow or pink plastic and is about six inches in height. The rabbit has a white face with an orange nose and a white stomach, and a decal of three stars and a blue cloud. When wound-up, the rabbit’s head rocks while it “rides” around on what appears to be a unicycle. Approximately 5,400 of these Riding Rabbits were sold nationwide, particularly on the East Coast, from January 1988 to February 1989 for approximately $5.00 each. CPSC discovered this small part violation when a sample was collected and tested for compliance with safety requirements. Neither CPSC nor Dan Brechner and Co., Inc. is aware of any injuries associated with this toy. Consumers who have these Riding Rabbits should immediately take them away from children and return them to the retailer where purchased for a full refund of the purchase price. Consumers with questions regarding this recall may contact Robert L. Follick, Esq., at (212) 233-6630
