CPSC Recalls Toy Vehicles Due to Choking Hazard
The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) has recalled nearly 500,000 wooden toy vehicles sold by Target, headquartered in Minneapolis. The wheels on the Bullseye’s Playground toys can detach, posing a choking risk. While there have been four reports of wheels detaching, including one instance of a missing wheel when the box was opened, no injuries have yet been reported.
The toys, made in China and supplied by Warren, NJ-based Horizon Group USA Inc., were sold in eight different styles, including a Santa in a sleigh, train, police car and caboose. They were also sold in an assortment pack of eight vehicles. The complete list of recalled item numbers, model numbers and UPC numbers, which can all be found on a white sticker on the bottom of each toy, is here.
