01100 · Recalled 2001-03-12 · CPSC page
Description
The "Rattling, Paddling Riverboat" toys are red plastic boats about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. The captain figure squeaks when it is pushed down. When the boat is moved across the floor, beads in the boat's paddle wheel make a rattle sound. The following words are imprinted on the bottom of the boat, "Sassy, MFG FOR BURGER KING CORP, MADE IN CHINA." The packaging says "Toddler Toys For Kids Under Three Years Old."
Hazards
Metal pins with plastic caps that attach the paddle wheel to the riverboat toy can come out and pose a choking hazard.
Reported injuries
Burger King Corp. has received 10 reports that the pin on the toy came out. One child was found with the pin in her mouth. Her father removed it and no injuries have been reported.
Remedy
Parents should immediately take the toy away from children and call Burger King Consumer Affairs for instructions on returning the toy for a free replacement toy.
