Cabbage Patch Dolls

Mattel has announced that it will attach warning labels to all Cabbage Patch Snacktime Kids dolls following reports of children getting their hair and fingers caught in the doll's mouth. The warning will inform parents that "long hair and fingers can get caught in the doll's mouth" and it will tell consumers that the doll's chewing action can be stopped immediately by removing the backpack. Mattel is aware of about 35 incidents (some reported nationwide) where a child's hair or finger became a "snack" for the doll. Call 1-800-524-TOYS for more information.
