Plain-English summary

Everything's A Dollar, Inc. is voluntarily recalling 10,944 Toy Wooden Block Trucks, item GW-25, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall was initiated after CPSC testing determined that the wooden head of the driver and a white 5/8-inch diameter cylinder block are a potential choking hazard for young children.

The recalled toy is a simple wooden truck measuring 4-3/4 inches long, 2-3/4 inches wide, and 2-1/2 inches high. It features a peg figure in the driver's seat and an open-lift bed with three colored removable building blocks. The toys were sold exclusively at 49 Everything's A Dollar retail stores in the East Coast and Midwest regions from September 1991 to January 1992 for $1.00 each. The packaging included a label reading "MADE IN CHINA."

Neither CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving these products. Consumers are urged to take the trucks away from young children immediately and return them to any Everything's A Dollar store for a full refund.
