It's not a problem (from the directory user's point of view.) There's no need to repeat words from the category name in each site description -- in fact, the guidelines deprecate it.

You should not think of it as a problem either -- every directory user will know you sell yo-yos, and no search engine uses the ODP description as keywords for your site.

Right. Any directory user who would search on "yo-yo" is obviously going to want to look at the cat devoted to yo-yos. From the perspective of wanting keywords in a description, it actually would be more desirable to have related keywords that someone might use rather than one already in the category name.
 

If I recall correctly, the original submission wanted a giant list of the brands you sell. (Yes, I added the site.) Why not submit an "update URL" request with a guidelines-compliant description if you don't like what I wrote?
