Plain-English summary

Man's Trading Co. of San Francisco, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 15,000 train-shaped "Rolling Clock" toys in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The light blue plastic trains measure five inches high, seven inches long, and two inches wide, featuring pink wheels, a clock on the back, and decorative beads. The toys were sold at retail stores nationwide from September 1995 through January 1996 for $1.79 to $2.49 each.

The recall is being conducted because if the toy is dropped, it can break into small parts, such as the decorative beads and the arms of the clock. Small children can choke on or inhale these small parts. Man's Trading Co. and CPSC are not aware of any injuries associated with this toy, and the recall is intended to prevent the possibility of injury. CPSC discovered this hazard during routine surveillance.

Consumers should take the toys away from children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers can call Amy Shum of Man's Trading Co. at (800) 388-7228.
