What happened

Arby's and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of approximately 220,000 toy saxophones distributed with Arby's Adventure Meals from January through March 1998. The orange plastic saxophones, which measure about 9 inches long and feature white keys and a mouthpiece, pose a choking hazard because the small keys and part of the mouthpiece could separate. Arby's is not aware of any injuries related to these toys.

Consumers with recalled saxophones should immediately remove them from young children and return them to their local Arby's restaurant for a free replacement toy. For additional information, consumers can contact Arby's Customer Relations Department at (800) 487-2729 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. EDT Monday through Friday.
