Recalled Fisher-Price Toys Pose Choking Hazard

Fisher-Price is voluntarily recalling a number of toys because of a choking hazard for young children and babies.

The recalled toys include:

• Baby Playzone Crawl & Cruise Playground - $50, sold July 2001 to October 2003);
• Baby Playzone Crawl & Slide Arcade - $48, sold April 2003 to January 2004;
• Baby Gymtastics Play Wall - $68, sold April 2005 to January 2007;
• Ocean Wonders Kick & Crawl Aquarium (C3068 and H8094) - $28, sold October 2003 to September 2005; and $36, sold June 2005 to March 2008;
• 1-2-3 Tetherball - $20, sold September 2005 to March 2008; and
• Bat & Score Goal - $20, sold May 2006 to July 2008.

Children should immediately stop using the recalled toys because an inflatable ball on the toys contains a valve which poses choking hazard. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Fisher-Price have confirmed 46 incidents in the United States in which the valve dislodged.

In 14 of the incidents, children put the valve in their mouths. In 3 incidents, children began to choke. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers are advised to remove the inflatable ball from the toy and keep it out of the reach of children, but to not discard it. Fisher-Price will send consumers a free replacement kit. To contact Fisher-Price, call 800-432-5437.

Around 2.8 million of the recalled Fisher-Price toys have been sold in the United States.
