Little Tikes Recalls Workshop Sets and Trucks Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

Little Tikes, of Hudson, Ohio, is recalling approximately 1.6 million children's toy workshop sets and trucks due to a choking hazard. The recalled products include the Electronic Project Workshop, Little HandiWorker Workhorse, Home Improvements 2-Sided Workshop, Swirlin' Sawdust Workshop, and Black Pickup Truck with Tools. These items were sold from March 1994 through June 2009 for between $25 and $100 at various websites and mass merchandise retailers nationwide, including Toys "R" Us.

The hazard involves oversized, plastic toy nails that are about 3 inches long by 1 inch in diameter and come in red or blue colors. The firm has received one report of an 11-month-old boy from Goose Creek, S.C., who choked when a toy nail became forcefully lodged in his throat. The child was hospitalized and made a full recovery.

Consumers should immediately take the toy nails away from young children and contact Little Tikes for a free replacement toy nail. For additional information, consumers can call (800) 791-2737 or visit www.littletikes.com.
