CPSC, Sassy Announce Voluntary Recall to Remove Squirting Fish from Bath Toys
Sassy Inc., of Kentwood, Mich.
Hazard
The fish's size, texture, shape and easy compressibility make it possible for an infant to compress the toy and place it in his or her mouth. If the toy reaches the back of the mouth and expands, it may block the child's airway.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately take these squirting fish away from young children and throw them away.
Sold at
Mass merchandise stores and toy stores sold these toys nationwide, from February 1999 to December 2000, for about $5.
Affected count
About 370,000
Injuries reported
CPSC and Sassy are aware of one report of an infant who put the toy fish in his mouth gagged and vomited and two other reports of infants who put the toy fish in their mouths and started to choke. Sassy is working cooperatively with the CPSC in taking action to correct this problem.
