Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Everything's A Dollar, Inc. are voluntarily recalling 9,382 Lidco Big Wooden Truck toys. The recall is due to the driver, wheel, and axle pieces, which pose a potential choking hazard to young children. The trucks were sold in three styles: one with multi-colored abacus beads, one with six multi-color discs, and one with five lettered and numbered discs. Each wooden truck measures 5.5 inches long and features red wheels, headlights, and a driver with a yellow hat, white face, and red body. The toys are labeled with "LIDCO, North York, Ontario Canada," SKU 58188, and UPC number 0 59584 05230 1.

The trucks were sold for $1 each in more than 200 "Everything's $1.00" retail stores nationwide. The potentially hazardous toys were identified during an examination of an "Everything's $1.00" retail store in Florence, Kentucky, by the State of Kentucky Product Safety Branch. CPSC and Everything's A Dollar, Inc. are not aware of any injuries involving these products. The voluntary recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.

Consumers should take the trucks away from children under three years of age immediately. Because the firm is out of business, consumers should discard or destroy these products.
