CPSC, Playskool Announce Recall to Replace Certain "Busy School Bus" Toys

Reported: January 22, 2001 Initiated: January 22, 2001 #01070

Product Description

Playskool's Busy School Bus toy is an 8-1/2 inch-long yellow plastic school bus-shaped toy with a carry handle and blue wheels. The front of the Busy School Bus toy has a smiling face and a male figure that moves up and down when a child rolls the toy. A bell rings when the toy is rolled and when the sliding red stop sign is moved back and forth. One side of the toy features a green door with a red Playskool logo and a yellow awning piece. When the door is opened, a decal of a child with animals is revealed. Only item number 5527 toys with date codes 91671 through 91883 are being recalled to replace. The item number and date code are printed on the bottom of the toy. A yellow Playskool logo is imprinted on one side and "MADE IN CHINA" imprinted on the bottom.

Reason for Recall

On certain units, the yellow "awning" piece above the bus' door can break loose, posing a choking hazard to young children.

Remedy

Consumers should take these toys away from young children immediately, and contact Playskool to receive a free toy of equal value.
