WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Electra-Plastics, Inc. of Port Newark, New Jersey, today announced a voluntary recall of four "Happy-Mates'' squeeze toys because they are small enough to lodge in the throat of a child and obstruct the airway thus causing choking and/or suffocation.
Although these particular toys have not been involved in any choking incident known to CPSC, similar shaped toys have been involved in choking deaths. Between 8 and 9 thousand of these toys have been distributed primarily in the northeastern states during the last 2 years.
All four squeeze toys have bulbous or flared ends measuring 3/4" to 1 1/4" in diameter and handles that are 2 3/4" long. Overall length of the toys is .5". The toys are:
- orange lion's head with bow tie on orange handle
- yellow cat's head with bow tie on yellow handle
- green frog's head with bow tie on white handle
- pink pig's head with bow tie 'on pink handle
The toys are made of soft, easily compressed plastic material and are packaged and sold under the brand name "Happy Mates." They are stamped "Taiwan" on the squeaky portion. The packaging bears the number H702.

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.
