Toy Cars Recalled
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Two models of a toy car which may pose
a choking hazard to young children are being voluntarily recalled
by Li Peng Enterprises, Inc., of Los Angeles, Cal., in an
agreement reached with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
The plastic toys, sold as wind-up and battery-powered
models, consist of a panda pushing another panda in a four-wheel
cart. Each cart has an umbrella with plastic discs and balls
hanging from the umbrella. The carts are labeled "MUSICAL CAB
ST-22 (A or B) MADE IN TAIWAN."
The balls on the umbrellas and other small parts can come
off and present a choking hazard to young children. Consumers
should immediately take the toys away from children, discard the
toys or return them to the retail store where purchased for a
full refund.
Approximately 4,800 of the wind-up toys and 3,600 of the
battery-powered models were sold between November 1987 and
January 1988 for $2.50 each.
