Plain-English summary

Target Stores is voluntarily recalling 23,500 units of the "My First Buddys Pop Pop Cars" push-along toy, model number 4562. The recall was initiated in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) after testing revealed that small plastic balls located under the hood of the car may fall out. This presents a potential choking and aspiration hazard to young children.

The toy, which measures eight inches long, four inches wide, and 4-1/4 inches high, features moving eyes as headlights and colored balls that pop up from the hood. The cars were imported by Target Stores and sold at retail stores nationwide from January 1991 to June 1992 for $7.99 each. Neither CPSC nor Target is aware of any injuries involving this product.

Consumers are urged to take the cars away from young children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers may contact Target Stores at (612) 370-6000.
