CPSC, Al-Dan Trading Inc. Announce Recall of Wooden Vehicle
Toys
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Al-Dan Trading Inc. of
Miami, Fla. is recalling over 5,800 wooden vehicle toys. The
toys have small parts that could separate and present a
choking hazard to young children.
CPSC and Al-Dan are not aware of any injuries involving
these toys. This recall is being conducted to prevent the
possibility of injury.
The wooden vehicles include trucks, trains, race cars,
motorcycles, airplanes, and cranes with parts painted red,
blue, green, yellow and/or white. Vehicles range in sizes as
small as 5 1/2 inches long and 2 1/2 inches high and as
large as 15 inches long and 7 inches high. The small
vehicles (trucks, trains, race cars, motorcycles and
airplanes) could have a driver in the cab, movable parts,
square and hexagon blocks with painted on numerals and
letters, and a clock face. The big vehicles all have movable
parts like the crane's operable hook, the truck's removable
animals, and the locomotive's drive wheel connectors. Some
toys may have a warning sticker stating "/!\ WARNING CHOKING
HAZARD - small parts not suitable for children under 3
years. NON-TOXIC AND MADE IN CHINA" and/or another
sticker stating "18 DANIEL BRAND" with a UPC code number
beginning with 69658.
Despite the warning label, these toys present a choking
hazard to young children.
These toys were mainly sold in the following Florida
discount stores: All for 99 Cents, Always 99 Cents, Dollar
Store, Dollar Dave's, Daniel Club Wholesalers, and Swamis
Trading from June 1996 through June 1997 for about $1.
Consumers should take the recalled toys away from children immediately and discard or destroy them, or if possible, return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. However, the firm, Al-Dan Trading Inc., does not have contact information at this time.
