Plain-English summary

Fisher-Price, Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 100,000 Kiddicraft Racing Rover cars sold nationwide during 1991 and 1992. The toy is a bright yellow race car featuring a white and black dog as the driver. The car is propelled forward when the dog's head is pushed down and released. The toy is recommended for children ages one to four years.

The recall is due to a choking hazard. Some children have removed the top part of the dog's head from the toy, creating a small part that could become a choking hazard. Fisher-Price learned of two instances of children choking on this small part, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) received reports of two additional incidents. No injuries were reported as a result of this problem.

Consumers should cut the plastic ears off of the dog and discard the rest of the toy. Both ears should be sent to Fisher-Price, Consumer Affairs, 636 Girard Avenue, East Aurora, NY 14052, to receive a $10.00 refund. Consumers should not return the Racing Rovers to retailers. For more information, consumers may call Fisher-Price toll free at 1-800-233-4004 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
