Plain-English summary

Wang's International, Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 9,100 sets of "Wooden Christmas Toy Trucks," model number X4848. Each set contains six trucks: two dump trucks, a roller truck, a crane, a cement mixer, and a truck with a ladder. The trucks have a natural wood finish and feature a non-removable peg driver with a painted-on face.

The recall was initiated after CPSC testing revealed that the drivers and other truck parts could separate, presenting a potential choking hazard to young children. The potentially hazardous toys were identified at the Port of Oakland, CA, during a joint CPSC/U.S. Customs surveillance program. Neither CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving these trucks.

The trucks were imported by Wang's International, Inc., and sold at retail stores nationwide from January 1992 through mid-December 1992 for a retail price of $3.99 per set. Consumers are urged to take the trucks away from young children immediately and return them to the stores where purchased for a full refund.
