Kellogg's Nascar Pull'N Go Toy Cars Recalled for Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

Kellogg Company is recalling approximately 837,000 Nascar Pull'N Go Hot Wheels style toy cars that were distributed inside boxes of Kellogg's Tri-Fun-Pak, Froot Loops, Mini-Wheats Frosted Bite Size, and Crispix cereals. The recalled cars are red and yellow with a white hood, feature the number 5 and the name Terry Labonte on the roof, and have 'China' and 'MFG. FOR KELLOGG CO., © 2000' molded into the plastic underframe. These specific cars were sold in specially marked packages from March 2000 through June 2000 at various club and grocery stores nationwide.

The recall is being issued because the tires on these toy cars can detach from the wheels, which poses a choking hazard for young children. Kellogg has received two reports of tires detaching from the wheels, but no injuries have been reported. No other Kellogg's Pull'N Go cars or Hot Wheels cars are part of this recall.

Consumers should take these toy cars away from young children immediately. To obtain a free replacement item and reimbursement for postage, consumers should send the car, along with their name and address, to Kellogg Company, P.O. Box 185654, Battle Creek MI 49018-5654. For more information, consumers can call Kellogg Co. at (800) 962-0037.
