Ty Inc. has removed all Jammin’
Jenna dolls from the toy shelves in Illinois and replaced them
with a redesigned version of the shoes that addresses any concern
raised by the Illinois Attorney General. Ty took this action even
though the Jammin’ Jenna dolls met all federal safety standards
and posed absolutely no risk of harm to children.
The Jammin’ Jenna doll
meets all safety standards promulgated by the Federal Consumer
Product Safety Commission, and the doll, like all of Ty’s
products, was tested for compliance with federal regulations before
it was introduced on the market. In November, Ty again tested
the toys, and the tests reconfirmed that the toys were safe and
met all federal safety requirements. Even though it was not required
to do so, Ty immediately ceased manufacturing this item and changed
the material of the shoes. Ty voluntarily stopped distributing
and selling the toys in Illinois, even though Ty does not believe
this product is governed by Illinois state law.
Ty wishes to point out that
it has always cooperated with the Illinois authorities on this
matter. Consumers should rest assured that Ty has always been
vigilant in ensuring that its toys are 100% safe for children.
