Choking Hazard Prompts Baby Toy Recall

July 2006

Check your children's toy box. Small World Toys has recalled a group of toy vehicles due to a choking hazard for young children. About 92,300 of the toy vehicles were recalled because the plastic wheels can detach.

The recalled toys include:

• IQ Baby Pillow Soft Activity Blocks
• IQ Baby Traveling' Train Blocks
• IQ Baby Vroom Vroom Vehicles
• Discovery Channel Vroom Vroom Vehicles

To date, Small World Toys has received 11 reports of incidents in which a wheel detached from one of these toys.

The IQ Baby Pillow Soft Activity Blocks are a set of 19 foam, cloth-covered blocks of various shapes with a plastic carrying case. Two of the blocks are car-shaped and have four 1-inch diameter plastic wheels with a black and white bull's eye pattern. Some cars have tags or labels that say "IQ Baby."

The IQ Baby Traveling' Train Blocks are a set of four brightly patterned stuffed cloth-covered vehicles, an engine and three cars that attach to each other with velcro connectors. Each piece is about 4-inches long, 2½-inches wide, and 3-inches tall, and has four 1-inch diameter plastic wheels with a black and white spoke pattern. Some pieces have tags or labels that say "IQ Baby."

IQ Baby and Discovery Channel Vroom Vroom Vehicles are sets of six soft, stuffed, brightly colored trucks that come in a plastic carrying case. Each truck is about 5 inches long, 3 inches tall, and 2½-inches wide and has four 1-inch diameter plastic wheels with a black and white bull's eye pattern. Some of the trucks in the sets have labels that read "IQ Baby" or "Discovery Channel."
