Toy Drums Recalled by Eden LLC
PRODUCT: Toy Drums - Eden LLC, of New York, N.Y., is voluntarily
recalling about 5,800 toy drums. Department, specialty, gift and toy
stores, including FAO Schwarz, sold the toys nationwide from May 2000
through February 2001 for about $12 when sold alone to $45 when sold as
part of a set. The toy drum is shaped like a soft stuffed green crab
with multi-colored stuffed feet and blue stuffed claws. The crab's
center is a yellow plastic with green spots. The toy drums, sold under
the name "Little Lessons Music Makers," have labels on the front and
near the right leg that say "Eden."
PROBLEM: The mallet sold with the toy drum has spheres on each end that
can pose a choking hazard if they become lodged in a young child's
throat.
INCIDENTS/INJURIES: None reported.
WHAT TO DO: Consumers should take the drums away from children
immediately and call Eden toll-free at (800) 658-8373 between 9 a.m. and
5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, for instructions on returning the toy
and for receiving a replacement toy.
