What happened

Burger King, Alcone, and the CPSC have recalled "Rattling, Paddling Riverboat" toys distributed in Burger King Kid's Meals. These red plastic boats, approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter, feature a squeaking captain figure and beads in the paddle wheel that rattle when the toy moves across the floor. The toys are marked on the bottom with "Sassy, MFG FOR BURGER KING CORP, MADE IN CHINA" and were packaged for toddlers under three years old. Metal pins with plastic caps that attach the paddle wheel to the riverboat can detach, creating a choking hazard.

Parents who have this toy should immediately remove it from children and contact Burger King Consumer Affairs for instructions on returning the toy. Burger King will provide a free replacement toy in exchange.
