Earthentree recalls wooden toys

-- Kids Today, 7/31/2008 6:02:00 AM

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Kirkland, Wash.-based juvenile manufacturer Earthentree, has voluntary recalled about 375 wooden toys due to choking and strangulation hazards.

The recall involves a variety of wooden toys made in India, including egg shakers (maracas), pull toys, rattles, and trains. The toys are painted glossy red, orange, green, brown, yellow or natural wood.

The toys contain small parts or can break into small parts, posing a choking hazard. The rattles violate the federal rattle standard. Some of the toys also have a string longer than 12 inches, which can pose a strangulation hazard to young children. No incidents or injuries have been reported.

These items were sold through Earthentree’s Web site, fairs, trade shows and retail stores nationwide from December 2007 through May 2008 for about $7 to $34.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children and contact Earthentree for exchange or refund.

For additional information, contact Earthentree at (800) 963-1593 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.earthentree.com/recall.
