WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), E. Fomil & Sons, Inc., Burlingame, CA is voluntarily recalling approximately 31,000 units of the combined toys, "Comic Zoo Animals," item number 31170, and "Magic Milk and Juice Bottles," item number 1703. The toys present small parts which pose a potential choking hazard for young children.
The Comic Zoo Animals package consists of six small (less than three inches) plastic zoo animals: a blue horse, a peach donkey, a yellow lion, a pink turtle, a peach giraffe, and a brown hippo. The blister card package is labeled in part: "Comic Zoo Animals, EFS BURLINGAME, CA 94010; MADE IN CHINA." The pink turtle is a small part.
The Magic Milk & Juice Bottles package consists of two plastic bottles one with disappearing milk and the other with disappearing juice. When the bottles are tilted upside down the fluids disappear. The bottles measure approximately 3-3/4 inches tall and one inch in diameter. The blister card package is labeled in part: "Magic Milk & Juice Bottles . . . EFS BURLINGAME, CA 94010, MADE IN HONG KONG." The bottles' nipples are small parts.
The toys were sold in a variety of retail stores in the states of Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Indiana, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Washington from January 1990 through December 1990 at prices ranging from $1.49 to $1.99 each.
