WASHINGTON, D.C. - CPSC, Accoutrements of Seattle, Washington, is voluntarily recalling 120,960 Squeak Pickle toys and 25,056 Squeak Kangaroo and baby kangaroo toys. During normal use, the squeaker device can separate from the toys, posing a choking hazard for young children.
The Squeak Pickles, item S877, were sold individually from bags of 12 labelled in part, "*** The Coral Line *** Accoutrements *** Not for children under 3 *** made in China *** ." The green rubber pickles each measure 3.5 inches long. The rubber Squeak Kangaroo and baby kangaroo toys, item 9394, were sold as a set in a box labelled in part, "*** GREAT MOTHERHOOD *** FOR AGES 3 AND UP *** Squeaking *** Kangaroo *** MADE IN CHINA*** S.D.S. TOYS ***." The grey and black kangaroo measures approximately 5 inches tall. The baby kangaroo measures about 1.5 inches tall and fits in the kangaroo's pouch.
Retail, toy, museum, chain and drug stores sold the pickle toys nationwide for approximately 35 cents apiece between August 1991 and November 1995. The same types of stores sold the Kangaroo toys from May 1990 through November 1995 for approximately $2.50.
Consumers should immediately take these toys away from children and return the toys to the store where purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers should call Accoutrements toll free at (800) 886-2221.
To date, Accoutrements and CPSC have not received any reports of incidents involving these toys. The toys were brought to CPSC's attention through CPSC's import surveillance program, performed in cooperation with the U.S. Customs Service.

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.
