Staff -- Kids Today, 10/1/2006 12:00:00 AM

Playskool, of Pawtucket, R.I., is voluntarily expanding its recall program for its Busy Poppin' Pals toys to include 170,000 Sesame Street Busy Poppin' Pals toys. Small springs inside these toys can break loose, posing a choking and laceration hazard to young children. On August 16, 2000, Playskool and CPSC announced the recall of 420,000 Busy Poppin' Pals toys with model number 5415, featuring animal characters, for the same problem. Playskool's Sesame Street Busy Poppin' Pals toy is a 13-inch long white plastic toy with blue, yellow and green buttons, levers and knobs of various shapes that, when activated, make Sesame Street characters pop up from under the toy's base. The model number, "5446," "MADE IN CHINA" and "C-023B" are imprinted on the bottom of the toy. Mass merchandise stores and toy stores sold these toys (Playskool model 5446 made in China) nationwide from November 1994 through 1996 for about $10. Consumers should take these toys away from young children immediately, and contact Playskool at (877) 518-9743 anytime or visit the firm's web site at www.hasbro.com to get information about how to receive a free, redesigned replacement toy. Busy Poppin' Pals toys with model 6205 have different springs and are not part of this recall. Any Busy Poppin' Pals toy that have "Made in Mexico" imprinted on the toy's bottom are not part of this recall.
