Little Tikes Recalls Children's Toys

August 2009

Little Tikes toy workshop sets and trucks present a choking hazard to children, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Little Tikes and the CPSC have announced a recall of the potentially dangerous toys and warn consumers to stop using them immediately.

The recalled workshop sets and trucks have oversized, plastic toy nails on which young children can choke. Approximately 1.6 million of the toys were sold nationwide, both online and at retailers like Toys "R" Us, from March 1994 through June 2009. The names, model numbers, and UPC code of the recalled products can be found on the CPSC's website.

Little Tikes received a report of an 11-month-old choking on a toy nail that became lodged in his throat. Consumers should remove the defective toys from children and contact Little Tikes for a replacement.
