Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and California International Trading of Los Angeles, Calif., are recalling approximately 5,000 light-up pacifiers, New Style Pianos, and High Toys Choochoo Toy Trains. The recalled items include a plastic light-up pacifier that functions as a whistle, a battery-operated musical piano, and a battery-operated toy train. These products were sold at swap meets and flea markets in the Los Angeles area between July 2004 and February 2005 for between $1 and $2.

The recall is being issued because the pacifiers and toys can easily break apart, exposing small parts. This poses a choking hazard to young children. No injuries have been reported in connection with these products.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled pacifiers and toys away from young children. To obtain a refund and postage reimbursement, consumers should call California International Trading toll-free at (800) 416-4491 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday.
