Product Name: "Pull Along Bear Brother" and "Pull Along Happy Bear"

Recall Description:

WASHINGTON, DC - Two pull toys imported from Taiwan are being voluntarily recalled by Falcon Impex, Inc., of Schiller Park, Illinois because small parts may separate from the toys and present a choking hazard to young children. "Pull Along Bear Brother" consists of two connected seven-inch tall bears of orange and yellow plastic with blue feet that "wobble" when pulled; the noses of both bears can be removed and constitute a small-parts hazard to young children. "Pull Along Happy Bear" is a seven-inch tall yellow plastic bear riding between two plastic half-balls with small colored balls inside. The toy is being recalled because the small plastic balls are an ingestion hazard to young children. "Made in Taiwan" is imprinted on the back of both toys. 6,000 have been sold nationally in September and October 1987. Consumers should remove the toys from children and return them to the store for a refund of the full purchase price.
