Plain-English summary

Radio Flyer Inc. is recalling approximately 38,000 units of the Classic Walker Wagon. The recall was initiated because the tips of the black plastic clickers, which make a clicking sound when the wheels move, can break off. These broken pieces pose a choking or aspiration hazard to young children.

The recalled wooden wagons are red with white "Radio Flyer" lettering, measure 22 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 16½ inches high, and are intended for children aged 1 to 4. The wagons were sold at toy, department, and discount stores, in catalogs, and by web retailers from August 2003 through May 2005 for about $80. Walker Wagons with clear plastic clickers are not included in this recall.

Radio Flyer has received 11 reports of the clicker tips breaking off, but no injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately take the recalled wagons away from young children and contact Radio Flyer for free replacement clickers. Contact information is available via the toll-free number (800) 621-7613, the company website, or email.
