Recall Details
Washington, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Hasbro, Inc. is voluntarily recalling its "Love-A-Bye Baby" doll line because the CPSC has determined that the doll's arms, baby bottle and comb are small parts that could present a serious choking hazard to young children under three years of age.
The dolls are 3-1/2 inches tall and come in black or white with curly or straight hair, with and without hair ribbons. The sets include a Love-A-Bye Baby doll, a 1-1/2 inch baby bottle, and a two-inch comb and sold for between $2.00 and $5.00 each. Other Love-A-Bye doll accessories are sold separately but are not being recalled.
Approximately 3,749,000 were distributed nationwide from December 1987 to March 1989.
Consumers should take the doll, baby bottle, and comb away from young children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund. Consumers may also return them to Hasbro, Inc., 450 Division Street, Pawtucket, RI 02861 for a refund.
For further information about this recall, consumers may call 1-800-242-7276.
While neither the CPSC nor Hasbro, Inc. are aware of any injuries or complaints involving the Love-A-Bye Baby doll, this recall is being undertaken to prevent that possibility.

The recalled children’s chess games violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain loose magnets posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.

Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues. Additionally, the Christmas tree component fails to comply with various mechanical and electrical requirements for battery-operated toys.
The recalled toys are intended for children under three years old and the toy’s peg dolls can block a child’s airway, which violate the small parts ban, posing a risk of choking and death to children.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury 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. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
