Toys-R-Us Recalling Toy
Stationery Sets
WASHINGTON, DC - Toys-R-Us of
Paramus, New Jersey, is voluntarily
recalling some 6,000 toy stationery
sets because a razor blade cutting
knife in the set may pose a
potential laceration hazard to young
children.
Imported from Taiwan, the toy
stationery set was sold in Toys-R-Us
stores between October and December
1987 for $7.99. The outer cardboard
package was labeled "Submarine
Stationery Set, Lucky Star
Enterprise Taipei, Taiwan, #51073, -
SKN012440 Recommended for ages 6 and
up."
Constructed of plastic in the shape
of submarine measuring seven inches
long and four inches wide, the
stationary set contains drawers and
attachments which house a tape
dispenser, pencil sharpener,
scissors and razor blade cutting
knife.
Consumers having the stationery set
should take the toy away from
children, then return it to the
nearest Toys-R--Us store for a full
refund of the purchase price.
