Washington, DC -- In cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, International Playthings Inc., Bloomfield, New Jersey is voluntarily recalling a flying toy helicopter called "Flying Copter". Approximately 15,000 "Flying Copters" were distributed by the firm between March of 1984 and October 1985.

CPSC has investigated accidents in which this toy has been responsible for serious eye injuries and facial lacerations not only to children but adults as well.
The "Flying Copter", being recalled by International Playthings, Inc., retailed for $3.50 and is a 7 l/2 inch plastic flying toy helicopter with a hand launching device. The helicopter is mostly white with three red plastic rotor blades. The launching handle is green. Assembly is required before the toy can be flown. It is this assembly which is difficult and if done improperly could allow the rotor blades to come off and strike the user or bystander.
Consumers are urged to discontinue use and to return the toy helicopter to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.

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.
