Dan Brechner is recalling 60,000 toy bracelets and 3,000 wooden dump trucks because small parts can detach and pose a choking hazard to young children.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a choking hazard with potential for severe injury or death, but the source explicitly states that no accidents or injuries have been reported to date, fitting the High severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Dan Brechner and Co. Inc. are voluntarily recalling approximately 60,000 toy bracelets and 3,000 wooden dump trucks. The recalled bracelets include model numbers 351-036 and 351-038, while the wooden dump trucks are model number TS 805. These products were sold nationwide at various retail locations, including Sugar Loaf Mkt. Inc., Dream Machine, and Funspot, from May 1993 through August 1994.

The recall was initiated because CPSC testing revealed that beads can come off the bracelets and the figure in the driver's seat of the dump trucks can break off. These small parts present a choking hazard to young children. If ingested, the beads can be inhaled into the lungs, potentially causing breathing problems, recurring pneumonia, lung collapse, or death. The broken figure from the dump truck also poses a serious choking risk.

To date, neither Dan Brechner nor the CPSC has received reports of accidents or injuries associated with these products. Consumers are advised to immediately take the bracelets and dump trucks away from young children and destroy, discard, or return them to the store of purchase for a refund. However, the source notes that Dan Brechner is out of business and cannot be contacted.
