WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Little Tikes is recalling an additional 1.7 million Little Tikes Workshop and Tool sets because they have oversized, plastic toy nails that can cause a choking hazard to young children. The company recalled about 1.6 million toy workshop sets and trucks with the same toy nails in August 2009.
Little Tikes has reported two additional incidents, occurring prior to the August 2009 recall, of children who choked when the toy nail became lodged in their throat. Both children were treated in a hospital and made a full recovery.
The recall involves the toy nails sold as part of 11 additional models of Little Tikes(r) Workshop and tool sets listed below. The toy nails are oversized, plastic, and about 3 1/4 inches long by 1 1/4 inch in diameter. The nails are either red or blue and have a large round head; below the nail head there is a plastic ridge, slightly smaller than the nail head and about 1 inch in diameter.
The toys were sold by mass merchandise retailers nationwide from 1990 through 2004 for between $25 and $100.
Consumers should immediately take the toy nails away from young children and contact the firm for free replacement toy nails.
We would love your feedback!
