Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Wendy's and Determined Productions Inc. are recalling approximately 800,000 Felix the Cat roller fun balls that were distributed with kids' meals at Wendy's restaurants nationwide from February 10 through March 4, 1997. The balls are clear plastic spheres approximately 2½ inches in diameter containing a Felix the Cat figure and four small plastic fish (colored red, yellow, purple, and green) that measure about 5/8 inch long. The glued seams holding the two halves of the ball together may separate, potentially releasing the small fish inside. This poses a choking hazard to young children. Wendy's has received two reports of the seam separating and one report of a child starting to choke on a fish, though no injuries have been reported.
According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately take these balls away from young children and return them to their local Wendy's restaurant for a free replacement toy. For additional information, consumers can call Wendy's International Inc. at (800) 443-7266. The recall does not affect other Felix the Cat toys distributed with Wendy's kids' meals.
