Re-activateMove follows two deaths
In cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Playskool is recalling about 255,000 Team Talkin' Tool Bench toys following the deaths of two young children who suffocated when oversized plastic toy nails sold with the tool bench toys became forcefully lodged in their throats, according to a statement released by the CPSC. The Team Talkin' Tool Bench is a 20-inch tall plastic toy tool bench with an animated red toy saw, a yellow toy drill and a blue toy vice. The product also includes a toy hammer, screwdriver, two 2¼-inch plastic screws, two 3-inch plastic nails and pieces to build a small toy plane. The red Playskool logo is on the front of the brown surface of the tool bench. The toy was sold at Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Target, KB Toys stores and various other stores nationwide from October 2005 through September 2006 for about $35. Consumers should immediately take the two toy nails away from children and contact Playskool to get information on returning the nails for a $50 certificate. For additional information, call Playskool at (800) 509-9554 anytime, or go to their Web site at www.playskool.com.
We'll have an update on this next week, along with some tips for parents on choosing safe toys. For more details about this and other recent recalls, go to recalls.gov, a web site maintained by the CPSC, FDA and other government agencies.
