Plain-English summary

Unitrade Marketing of New York, NY is voluntarily recalling approximately 12,800 "Peg Pounder" sets, model number 8839, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The all-plastic toy set includes a red workbench, shape sorting slots, and small plastic nuts that the CPSC has determined could be a fatal choking hazard to young children.

The Peg Pounder was sold nationwide from September 1989 to November 1989 for approximately $1.99. The State of Kentucky discovered the unsafe toy during a retail survey and notified the CPSC. Neither the CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving this toy. This voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.

Consumers are urged to take the Peg Pounder away from young children immediately and return it to the store where purchased for a refund of the purchase price. Consumers with questions about this recall may contact Unitrade at (212) 366-1400.
