Recall Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. - CPSC, Arcotoys Inc., a Mattel Company in Westbury, N.Y., is voluntarily recalling 200,000 of its portable Disney Play 'N Pop Activity Toys.
Arcotoys received 13 consumer reports that the small purple key, shaped like Mickey Mouse's head, broke off from the toy, creating a potential choking hazard for young children. Although no injuries have been reported to Arcotoys, several consumers reported that their children started to choke on the toy pieces. While testing by the company shows that the product complies with CPSC and industry standards, Arcotoys is taking this action to prevent possible future injuries.
This activity toy, for children 9 to 36 months of age, has five brightly colored pop-up Disney cartoon figures shaped like Baby Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy characters. Children activate the pop-up figures with panel controls that include the Mickey Mouse key.
The Disney Play 'N Pop toys were produced in China and Mexico. Only Play 'N Pop toys (No. 66004) produced in China are being recalled. The recalled toys, which sold nationwide in 1994 for about $13 in toy, department, and specialty stores, can be identified by the word "China" molded in the bottom of the toys.
Consumers should take the toys away from children immediately and return the Disney Play 'N Pop toys with the word "China" on the bottom by mail to Arcotoys, Attention: Nancy Nelson, 15930 East Valley Boulevard, City of Industry, CA 91744. Consumers will receive a full refund, including postage, and a discount coupon toward the purchase of another Arcotoys product. Consumers can also call Arcotoys at (800) 442-2664. Some retailers may also provide refunds for the toy.

Related Recalls
The recalled toys violate the small parts ban because they are intended for children under three and the small pacifier poses a deadly choking hazard to young children. In addition, the eyes on the plush bear can detach also posing a choking hazard.
The recalled tents’ fiberglass poles can shed fibers, posing an injury risk of skin and eye irritation.
The recalled toys violate the mandatory safety standard for toys because the mini flashlight included with the fidget spinner balls contains button cell batteries that can be easily accessed by children. If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns, and death.
The magnets violate the mandatory safety standard for magnets because the high-powered magnets fit within CPSC’s small parts cylinder and are stronger than permitted, posing a deadly ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets 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.
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.
