What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states the toys may pose a 'fatal choking hazard' and a 'puncture wound hazard,' but also notes that neither the CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported are classified as High (3).
Plain-English summary
General Toys of Los Angeles, CA, is voluntarily recalling several plastic wind-up toys in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recalled items include the Happy Flapping Car, Happy Tricycle Police and Thief, Cycling Bear, Naughty Bear, and Ice Cream Van. These toys were sold nationwide prior to March 1990.
The recall is being conducted because the toys may pose a fatal choking hazard to young children due to small parts and a puncture wound hazard due to sharp points. Neither the CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving these toys. This voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.
Consumers are urged to take these toys away from young children immediately. They should return the toys to the store where purchased for a refund or mail them to General Toys at 516 E. 4th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013 for a refund plus postage.
