McCrory Recalls Play Cars Due To Choking Hazard From Detaching Tires

Plain-English summary

McCrory Corporation is voluntarily recalling approximately 10,000 units of "Play Cars," model no. 25, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall is being conducted because the solid black tires on the hollow plastic cars can detach from the metal axle, creating a choking hazard for young children. Each set consists of eight 4-1/2 inch cars in yellow, red, green, and blue, and features the words "INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA" on the undercarriage.

These toy cars were sold nationwide between September 1, 1989, and December 12, 1991, by retailers including Bargain Time, Britts, Elmore, McCrory, H.L. Green, Kress, McClellan, T.G. and Y., Silver Kittinger, Newberry Stores, G.C. Murphy, and some independent variety stores. Each set sold for approximately $2.29. The cardboard header identifies the product as "Play Cars, 8 Colorful, Freewheeling Cars. No. 25, Made in Argentina by Andresito..."

Neither the CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving this product. Consumers are urged to take the "Play Cars" away from young children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund of the purchase price. Consumers with questions may contact McCrory Corporation toll-free at 1-800-284-3704.
