CPSC and Radio Flyer Announce Recall of Little Wood Wagon
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Radio Flyer Inc. of
Chicago, Ill., is voluntarily recalling 14,000 children's
toy Little Wood Wagons. The wagons contain a prohibited
level of lead in the red painted sides that can cause lead
poisoning in young children, who may ingest the paint.
The body of the Little Wood Wagon (model 6), which
comes with a pull handle, measures 12.5 inches by 7.5 inches
by 4 inches with wheels measuring 3 inches by 1 inch.
Retailers, including Mills Fleet Farm, The Right Start
Catalog and Stores, and True Value Hardware, sold the wagons
nationwide from June 1996 through September 1996 for between
$20 and $25 each. This recall does not involve any other
wagon sold by Radio Flyer.
Consumers should immediately take the wagons away from
children and look for a manufacturing date decal on the
bottom of the wagon. If there is no decal, consumers should
return the wagon to the store where purchased for an
exchange or refund. Consumers may also call Radio Flyer at
(800) 621-7613, 24 hours a day, to receive free-of-charge a
replacement wagon without leaded paint. Wagons having a
date-of-manufacture decal are not subject to this recall.
Radio Flyer Inc. and CPSC are not aware of any injuries
involving the wagons. This recall is being conducted to
prevent the possibility of injury.
The U.S. Customs Service cooperated with CPSC in this
investigation.
