WASHINGTON, March 25 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of approximately 3,000 toy penguin figures because of a safety hazard.

The CPSC said the toy, made in Thailand, can come apart, exposing connectors with sharp points that present a laceration hazard.

The wooden penguin-shaped toy, distributed by Plan Toy Inc. of Mountain View, Calif., has a black head with rubber fins, a yellow nose and a white body with red on the base. The toy, which is round and creates a soft bell jingle when spun, has "PLAN TOYS" and UPC number 084543521109 or EAN number 8854740052117 printed on the outside of the packaging.

The toy was sold nationwide from May 2007 through February 2008 for between $15 and $20.

Consumers can return the toy to the store where purchased for a refund or they can contact the company at 866-517-7526 for instructions on returning the toys via mail.
