Toy Stacking Rings

July 31, 2003

Earlyears Bobbie Bear Stacking Rings manufactured by International Playthings are being recalled.

Plastic knobs on the rings can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children. The firm has received three reports of small parts detaching from the rings, though no injuries have been reported.

The recalled Bobbie Bear Stacking Rings have a blue and orange rounded bottom, two multicolored stacking rings, and an orange plastic bear head topper. The toy can be spun like a top and makes a rattling sound when shaken. The toy is designed for children ages 6-24 months and has a model number of E00421, which can be found on the packaging.

Specialty toy stores nationwide sold these toys from April 2002 through March 2003 for about $10.

Consumers should contact the company for instructions on how to return the toy to receive a free replacement item of similar value. Call International Playthings at (800) 445-8347 anytime or log on to the company's Website at www.intplay.com/recall.htm.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
