  A new way to overcome the $\Lambda$ hyperon selective suppression, which is
known as the $\Lambda$-anomaly, has been suggested. In particular, the
additional radius of a $\Lambda$ hyperon is introduced into the model of hadron
resonance gas with the multicomponent hard-core repulsion. The proposed
approach allows one to describe the hadron multiplicity ratios measured at the
AGS, SPS and RHIC energies with the accuracy $\chi^{2}/dof=$52/55$\simeq $0.95.
