Recall Details
WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), The Sail Harbor of Freehold, NJ is voluntarily recalling 2,000 units of its "Wind-Up Row n Row Boat," style number 172. The toys may break during use producing small parts, some of which have sharp points. These small parts could be a fatal choking hazard or could cause puncture wounds to young children.
These plastic water toys are 5-1/2 inches long and 3-1/2 inches wide with either an alligator or a hippopotamus seated in the center of each boat. The hippopotamus has a green body and a soft rubber head with painted facial features. The hippopotamus is in a boat with yellow oars, a red deck, a white bottom and a blue wind-up key. The alligator has a yellow body and a green soft rubber head with painted facial features. The alligator is in a boat with beige oars, a blue deck, a white bottom and a red wind-up key. Both have stick-on decals that resemble blue water.
These water toys were sold nationwide beginning in January 1991 for approximately $3.00 each.

The potentially hazardous toys were identified during a joint surveillance program conducted between the CPSC and the U.S. Customs Service at the Port of Newark.
