CPSC, Sassy Announce Voluntary Recall to Remove Squirting Fish from Bath Toys

Reported: December 28, 2000 Initiated: December 28, 2000 #01062

Product Description

The Scoop Pour 'N Squirt bath toy set has a large, colorful plastic fish-shaped scoop with a green textured handle and a spout for pouring water. This set comes with two small plastic squirting fish. The Bath Time Pals bath toy set comes with one squirting frog, two squirting pearls and two squirting fish. The toys comply with toy safety regulations.

Reason for Recall

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.
