Plain-English summary

Lederer Industries, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is voluntarily recalling approximately 3,400 Wisdom Blocks Train Sets, model number WP262. The recall was initiated after CPSC testing revealed that the smoke stack, axles, and car connecting pins could separate from the toy. These detached components are small parts that pose a potential choking hazard for young children.

The recalled toy is a wooden train set approximately 15-1/2 inches long and 3-1/2 inches tall, consisting of one engine and two cars. The product was imported by Lederer Industries in November 1988 and distributed to Consolidated Stores in February 1989. Consolidated Stores sold the toy nationwide in 1989 during March, April, and May at retail prices ranging from $6.99 to $9.99. The box label reads "Train Set, Put-Together, Wisdom Blocks, Made in China."

Neither the CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving this product. Consumers are urged to take the toy away from young children immediately and return it to the store where purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers may call Lederer Industries at 1-800-966-7437.
