Worldwide recall for hair-eating dolls

More than 200 people in Hong Kong who bought Cabbage Patch Snack Time Kids' Dolls will be entitled to a refund after the company recalled the toys. Mattel of the US said it would stop producing them after complaints children's hair had become stuck in the toy, which cost about $299 in Hong Kong.

The doll has a moving mouth that 'eats' specially made plastic bananas, chips and other food. The food reappears in a satchel on the doll's back.
