Wompkee Inc. is recalling approximately 2,400 Wompkee plush toys sold since November 1994 due to a laceration hazard. The toys are approximately 12 inches high with a beige face, green body, and white fur on the chest, head, and tail. The hazard stems from wires inside the toy's ears that can protrude through the plush fabric and create sharp points dangerous to young children. Although no injuries or complaints have been reported, the company initiated the recall as a preventive measure. The toys were sold only in Maine and New Hampshire at specific retailers including Bookland, Mr. Paperback, Levinsky's, Blueberries and Granite in the Maine Mall, and My Maine Bag in the Bangor Mall, as part of a set that included a cassette tape and paperback book.
According to the recall notice, affected consumers should immediately return the toys to any of the stores where they were purchased, or mail the toy directly to Wompkee, Inc. Recall, P.O. Box 415, Newfane, VT 05345. Consumers will receive a new and improved Wompkee toy and reimbursement for postage costs within six to eight weeks.
