Plain-English summary

Chadwick-Miller, Inc. of Canton, MA, voluntarily recalled approximately 14,000 Toy Soldier Train toys, model #96774. The recall was conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) because various wooden components can separate from the toy, creating a fatal choking hazard for young children.

The recalled product is a set of 30 painted wooden soldiers, one unpainted steam locomotive with four red wheels, a 28-inch blue pull cord, three unpainted flatbed cars with pegs, and six blocks with red multiplication signs. The set is packaged in a brown cardboard box labeled "Chadwick Set of 30 Wooden Toy Soldiers with train...Made in China." These toys were distributed nationwide from 1986 to 1989 and sold for between $9.98 and $12.98 each.

Neither the CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving this product. The recall is being conducted to prevent any possibility of injury. Consumers are urged to take these toys away from young children and destroy the product. As the manufacturer is out of business, no other remedy is available.
