Plain-English summary

Liquidating Corp., formerly B and E Sales Company, Inc., is issuing a public warning regarding 6,800 wooden puzzle train toys, Item No. 790494. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) determined that the toys contain small parts that may present a potential choking hazard if used by children under three years of age.

Each puzzle train consists of one wooden engine car and two wooden boxcars with red wheels. The engine features a pull cord measuring approximately 10-1/2 to 11 inches long, and the set includes brightly painted wooden triangles and cylinders that fit into the boxcars. These toys were distributed nationwide to retail toy outlets since July 1988 and sold for approximately $5.00.

Although neither the CPSC nor Liquidating Corp. have received reports of injury involving these toys, consumers should take the toys away from young children and discard them. The potentially hazardous puzzle trains were identified by the U.S. Customs Service during a joint surveillance program with the CPSC at the Port of Los Angeles, CA.
