Dolls pulled for choking hazard

Thursday, April 5, 2007 | 09:09 AM ET

About 3,500 Lovely Baby and Happy Baby dolls are being withdrawn from the marketplace because they contain small parts that could pose a choking danger for young children.

The dolls were sold at dollar stores in the U.S. from September 2006 through October 2006 for $1 US.

No associated incidents of injury have been reported.

Consumers should take the dolls away from children and return them to the retailer for a refund.
