Plain-English summary

Fisher-Price Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 17,000 toy police cars that are part of the Little People Roadside Rescue vehicle set. The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

The affected police car is made of plastic with a white upper part and a blue lower part, featuring blue star cutouts on both sides and black wheels. It is the only toy in the set involved in the recall. The vehicle set, which includes other vehicles and figures, was sold in major toy stores and mass merchandise outlets nationwide since February 1997 for about $8. The packaging is a cardboard box labeled "Fisher-Price Little People Roadside RescueTM...Ages 1 1/2 - 5 yrs...72394."

CPSC and Fisher-Price are not aware of any injuries involving these toy cars. Consumers who purchased the vehicle set since February 1997 should immediately take the police car away from young children. They should call Fisher-Price toll-free at 800-233-4004 to receive a replacement vehicle free of charge.
