WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC), Christmas Tree Shops Inc. of South
Yarmouth, Mass., is voluntarily recalling about 12,000 toy

"driver" figure in the truck's front cab, which may break off
during use presenting a potential choking hazard to young
children.
CPSC is not aware of any injuries involving this toy.
This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of

hazard.
The wooden "Engineering Truck" toys (Item 00011-34416)
measure approximately 6 inches long and 2 inches wide. Each truck
has a front cab section with a small, peg-shaped "driver" figure
which measures approximately 1.5 inches high. The truck's flat
bed body features a hauler, a cement mixer, an asphalt roller, a
crane, or an extension ladder. The truck has no labeling.
The trucks were packaged in small blue and white
cardboard boxes featuring photographs of the toys. Labeling on
the box reads in part, "ENGINEERING TRUCK EDUCATIONAL TOY... MADE
IN CHINA." The box also includes the SKU number "000011 34416 2."
Christmas Tree Shops in New England sold the "Engineering
Truck" toys from April 1994 through March 1996 for $1 each.

immediately and return the toy either to the store where
purchased or the nearest Christmas Tree Shop. For more
