Warner Bros. Studio Store says small product parts could pose choking risk
|
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Warner Bros. Studio Store is recalling about 3,800 Tweety rattles and 1,000 pairs of Tweety sandals after finding that small parts of each product can detach and pose a choking hazard to young children.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Burbank, Calif.-based Warner Bros. Studio Store have received three reports of parents removing detached parts of sandals and a rattle from their babies' mouths. No injuries have been reported.
The rattle is sold as part of a Tweety Bib, Rattle and Spoon Set. The rattle, which is covered with a yellow cloth bearing a Tweety image, is approximately 5 inches long, and has a small blue and white bib (about 1.5 inches wide and 1.4 inches long) tied around Tweety's neck. Tweety's bib can detach, posing a choking hazard to a young child.
 Warner Bros. Stores nationwide sold the Tweety Bib, Rattle and Spoon Sets from August 1998 through January 2000 for about $15.
The Tweety sandals are girls' jelly swimwear sandals made of transparent pink plastic with embedded sparkles and a picture on the inside soles of Tweety sitting on flowers. The sandals were sold in infant sizes from 3 to 15 months. The sandals have three round plastic flowers on the top surface. The flowers can detach, posing a choking hazard to a young child.
Warner Bros. stores nationwide sold the sandals from February 2000 through April 2000 for about $10.
Consumers should take these products away from children immediately and return them to a Warner Bros. store for a refund. For more information regarding these recalls, consumers should call Warner Bros. Store toll-free at (800) 795-9277 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.
