Plan Toys Recalls Wooden Penguins

March 25, 2008    
Plan Toys Inc. is recalling about 3,000 wooden toy penguins. The head of the penguin toy can detach, exposing connectors with sharp points, presenting a laceration hazard to consumers.

Plan Toys has received one report of the head of a penguin toy detaching. No injuries have been reported.

The wooden penguin-shaped toy has a black head with rubber fins, a yellow nose and a white body with red on the base. The toy is round-shaped and creates a soft bell jingle when spun. The toy measures about 3 ¾ inches in height and about 3 inches in diameter. “PLAN TOYS” and UPC number 084543521109 or EAN number 8854740052117 are printed on the outside of the packaging of the toy.

The toys were sold at specialty toy stores nationwide and on-line from May 2007 through February 2008 for between $15 and $20. They were made in Thailand.

Consumers should immediately take the penguin toys away from children and return them to the store where purchased to receive a refund. Consumers also can contact Plan Toys to receive instructions on returning the penguin toys via mail for a refund.
