CPSC, Gymboree Corp. Announce Recall of Toy Wooden Trains
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Gymboree Corp. of
Burlingame, Calif., is recalling 727 toy wooden trains.
Wooden pieces of the toy can come off during play, exposing
young children to small parts and presenting a choking
hazard.
CPSC and Gymboree have received three reports from
consumers of small parts coming off the train. No injuries
have been reported.
The toy trains are made of wood and measures about 20
inches long when the three train cars are connected end to
end. The train cars include a red, blue, orange and green
engine; a red and green box car and a blue and purple
dumpster. The train is packaged in an orange, blue and green
box that reads, in part, "GYMBOREE, WOODEN TRAIN." A graphic
of the train also appears on the box. The SKU number,
located on the box, is 1103-0028. The toy was made in
Thailand.
Gymboree stores nationwide sold the trains from October
1997 through November 1997 for about $24.
Consumers should take the trains away from children
immediately and return them to the retail store where
purchased for a refund. For more information about this
recall, consumers should contact Gymboree at (800) 558-9885
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PST Monday through Friday.
