"Ma and Baby Bunny" are plush rabbit-shaped toys. The "Ma Bunny" stands approximately 12-1/2 inches tall and is either bright pink and white or yellow and white in color. The "Baby Bunny" is approximately six inches tall and is held in the arms of Ma Bunny. The toy was purchased as part of an Easter basket, model number BK101. The Easter baskets also included a variety of candy and novelty items and were sold nationwide by retail gift and specialty stores during the 1988 and 1989 Easter seasons. The "Ma and Baby Bunny" toy was not included with Easter baskets sold during the 1990 Easter season and will not be included in Easter baskets sold during the 1991 Easter season. A label located at the bottom of Ma Bunny reads in part, "Bee International, Commerce, CA 90040, Made in China." Neither the CPSC nor Bee International is aware of any injuries involving this product. This voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. Consumers who purchased the Easter baskets, model number BK101, may keep Ma Bunny, however, consumers are urged to take Baby Bunny away from young children immediately and return the toy directly to Bee International, 6817 Acco Street, Commerce, CA 90040, Attention: Greg Hall, for a $1.00 refund of the price Baby Bunny would have sold for if purchased separately from Ma Bunny plus shipping costs.
