Arby's Announces Recall of Toy Saxophones

Arby's Franchise Association of Atlanta, Ga., is voluntarily recalling about 220,000 toy saxophones distributed with Arby's Adventure Meals. The small keys and part of the mouthpiece on the saxophone could separate from the toy, presenting a potential choking hazard to young children.

The toy saxophone is made of orange-colored plastic. The saxophone measures about 9 inches long and has four small, finger-operated keys and a mouthpiece that are colored white. The saxophone was packaged in a plastic bag labeled in part, "Musical Notes...Arby's...Adventures In Music...Made In China." The toy was distributed with Adventure Meals at Arby's restaurants nationwide from January through March 1998.

Consumers should immediately take these toys away from young children and return them to their local Arby's restaurant for a free replacement toy. For more information, consumers should call Arby's Customer Relations Department at (800) 487-2729 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. EDT Monday through Friday.
