CPSC, Warner Bros. Studio Store Announce Recall of Tweety Rattles and Sandals
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Warner Bros. Studio Store, of Burbank, Calif.,
(Warner Bros. Store) is recalling about 3,800 Tweety rattles and 1,000
pairs of Tweety sandals. Both products are being recalled because small
parts of each product can detach and pose a choking hazard to young
children.
CPSC and 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.
Rattle Recall
The rattle is sold as part of a Tweety Bib, Rattle and Spoon Set.
The rattle, which is covered with a yellow cloth and is approximately 5
inches long, is a Tweety image 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.
Sandals Recall
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
