Plain-English summary

Al-Dan Trading Inc. of Miami, Florida, is recalling over 5,800 wooden vehicle toys in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recalled items include trucks, trains, race cars, motorcycles, airplanes, and cranes. These toys feature small parts that could separate, presenting a choking hazard to young children. The vehicles range in size from 5 1/2 inches long to 15 inches long and are painted in red, blue, green, yellow, and/or white. Some toys include a driver in the cab, movable parts, blocks with painted numerals and letters, or a clock face. Larger vehicles have movable parts such as a crane's operable hook, a truck's removable animals, or a locomotive's drive wheel connectors.

The toys were sold from June 1996 through June 1997 for about $1 in Florida discount stores, including All for 99 Cents, Always 99 Cents, Dollar Store, Dollar Dave's, Daniel Club Wholesalers, and Swamis Trading. Some toys may have a warning sticker stating "WARNING CHOKING HAZARD - small parts not suitable for children under 3 years. NON-TOXIC AND MADE IN CHINA" and/or another sticker stating "18 DANIEL BRAND" with a UPC code number beginning with 69658. Despite these labels, the toys present a choking hazard. CPSC and Al-Dan are not aware of any injuries involving these toys, and the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.

Consumers should take the recalled toys away from children immediately and discard or destroy them, or if possible, return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. However, Al-Dan Trading Inc. does not have contact information available at this time.
