Plain-English summary

Kidpower Inc. of Brentwood, Tenn., is voluntarily recalling and replacing cars in approximately 18,000 "Zap Zap Racetrack" car sets. The recall was initiated because the manufacturer misassembled or failed to assemble some of the cars, causing wheels and other small components to present a potential choking hazard to young children.

Neither the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) nor Kidpower is aware of any injuries involving this toy; the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. The toy sets, which include two curve tracks, one start ramp section, two GT race cars, four flagpoles, and labels, were sold nationwide from January to December 1994 through Fingerhut catalogue sales, Toys-R-Us, and other retailers for about $20.00.

Consumers should take the toy cars away from young children immediately. For replacement instructions, consumers can contact Kidpower at (800) 545-7529 Ext. 230, or write to the company at 8005 Church Street East, Brentwood, TN 37027. Fingerhut will also directly notify its customers with instructions for replacing the toy cars.
