Plain-English summary

Aldi, Inc. is voluntarily recalling 4,000 "MYKIDS Bump-and-Go Wonder Loco" toy train engines, model 7801, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The battery-operated trains were sold at 200 Aldi grocery stores in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin from October 20, 1991, through November 2, 1991, for $4.99 each. The toys are bright yellow, red, blue, and black with decals reading "No. 30 WONDER LOCO" and feature a "bump-and-go" action, steam whistle sound, and blinking lights.

The recall is being conducted because the wheels and axles separated during CPSC testing, which could pose a choking or aspiration hazard to young children. The potentially hazardous trains were identified at the Port of Chicago, IL, during a joint CPSC/U.S. Customs surveillance program. Neither CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving this product.

Consumers are urged to take the trains away from young children immediately and return them to the Aldi grocery store where purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers may contact Aldi, Inc. at 1-708-879-2130.
