Description
The "Planet Discovery" toys are plastic disks (about 2 to 3 inches in diameter) with a suction cup (about 1.5 inch in diameter) on the back. The toys depict all of the planets plus the moon and the sun. Each toy comes in a plastic bag labeled "Planets: Collect Them All!" A paragraph on the bag also says: "Parents: This toy has been safety-tested for children of all ages." The planet toy itself says "Chick- fil-A Inc. 1999," "1998 Namkung Promotions Inc," and "China."
Hazards
The suction cup on the toy can come off, presenting a choking hazard to young children.
Reported injuries
Chick-fil-A has received seven reports that the suction cup on the toy came off. In one case, a child began choking, but the parent removed the suction cup before medical treatment was needed.
Remedy
Parents should immediately take away the toy from young children. Throw away the toy or return the planet toys to a Chick-fil-A restaurant for a free replacement premium or a small Icedream®.
