What happened

Dennis Foland Inc. Merchandising Service recalled approximately 21,000 Chuck E. Cheese tambourines due to safety hazards. The orange and white tambourines feature a picture of Chuck E. Cheese and have cymbals attached to the side with wire. During testing, the plastic broke and the wire holding the cymbals detached, creating risks of choking from the metal cymbals and puncture or laceration injuries from the wire parts. These tambourines were sold nationwide through Chuck E. Cheese and Showbiz Pizza Restaurants since 1987 for approximately $1.50 each. As of the recall announcement, no injuries had been reported.

This voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent any possibility of injury. These potentially hazardous toys were identified during a joint CPSC/U.S. Customs Service surveillance program conducted at the Port of San Francisco, California. Consumers having these Chuck E. Cheese tambourines should take them away from children and return them to the Chuck E. Cheese or Showbiz Pizza Restaurant where purchased for a full refund.
