Recall Details
WASHINGTON -- Amloid Company of Saddle Brook, NJ, is voluntarily recalling some 75,000 "Cook N Clean Kitchen" toys because small plastic parts may come off the toy and could pose a choking hazard to young children.
Packaged in a yellow plastic, fold-up carrying case, "Cook N Clean Kitchen'' is a toy kitchen for pre-school children. The toy kitchen includes a stove, sink, cupboard, pots, pans, utensils and placemats made of blue, red and yellow plastic. The temperature control knob on the stove and small red pegs on the back of the toy may come off and could present a choking hazard.
Imported from Mexico, the toys were sold nationwide since April 1987 for about $6 to $8.
Consumers should immediately take the toy away from young children and return it to the store where purchased for a refund of the full purchase price.
The U.S. Customs Service identified the potentially hazardous toy at the Port of Laredo, Texas during "Operation Toyland," a joint surveillance program with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Consumers should immediately take the toy away from young children and return it to the store where purchased for a refund of the full purchase price.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
