Goula children's Sewing Boards
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
FAO Schwarz is recalling approximately 1,000 children's wooden sewing boards sold between 1992 and November 8, 1995 due to strangulation hazard from a removable string. The sewing boards measure 7.5 inches in diameter and come in three styles (fish, cars, and beach balls) with painted designs in various colors. Each toy includes a string measuring at least 42 inches long that can be woven through holes around the board's edge. The boards were sold at FAO Schwarz stores nationwide for $12.00 and came in clear plastic packaging with a red and white card labeled "Goula...Made in Spain..." Some packaging incorrectly stated the toy was appropriate for children one year and older, though it is only appropriate for children over three years of age.
Consumers who purchased the sewing board should stop using it immediately and return it to any FAO Schwarz store for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact FAO Schwarz at (800) 400-4326. FAO Schwarz is not aware of any injuries or complaints regarding these sewing boards.
