Discovering Sonya Lee’s got a Defect – Little People Recall

August 6th, 2010. By AbiK

Fisher-Price is sending out an APB for their Little People Play ‘n Go Campsite. It’s a product recall affecting about 96,000 campsite toys in the US, 14,000 in Canada. The 7-piece Play ‘n Go Campsites—product number R6935—were sold between October 2009 and August 2010, retailing for about $15.

So what—or who—is at issue? Seems the culprit is that little Sonya Lee. But just who is Sonya Lee and why all the fuss?

Here’s what we discovered (they’re big on “discovering” at Little People–see video above; Aaron Neville sings…) on the Fisher Price Little People “Meet the Little People Friends” d-base:

Name: Sonya Lee

Favorite Activity: Taking Care of Animals; Note: Sonya Lee claims to be able to understand what animals “say”. When camping at the Little People Play ‘n Go Campsite, she also enjoys playing guitar by the campfire and roasting unusually large marshmallows.

Favorite Animal: Her kitty, but she “really loves all animals”. Kitty is with Sonya Lee at the Campsite

Favorite Color: Pink

Favorite Season: Spring

Favorite Food: Carrots

Cohorts: “All the animals”—and has a friend who goes by the name “Squeakles”

Sonya Lee’s been charged with breaking at the waist—into two parts—which can become choking hazards. Thankfully, while there have been eight reports of Sonya Lee breaking, there have been no reports of injury, according to Fisher-Price. No other figures in the Campsite set have been identified as posing a hazard.

For those who may have trouble identifying Sonya Lee, she wears an ID label on the bottom of her feet that says, “Sonya Lee”. She was also last seen—at the campsite—wearing a green sweater with a purple camera around her neck.

If you see Sonya Lee—with a Little People Play ‘n Go Campsite—in your family room, play room, child’s bedroom, bathtub, backyard…really, anywhere, you’re advised to stop using it immediately and to contact Fisher-Price for a free replacement.

Fisher-Price can be contacted at: 800-432-5437.
