CPSC, Radio Flyer Inc. Announce Recall to Repair Ride-On Push Cars
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Radio Flyer Inc. of Chicago, Ill., is voluntarily
recalling about 15,000 Little Wooden Push Cars for repair. A child can
pull the horn off the car's steering wheel, and a small part inside
poses a choking hazard.
Radio Flyer Inc. has received three reports of the horns being
pulled off, but no injuries have been reported.
The Little Wooden Push Car is about 24-inches long, 14-inches
wide, and 18-inches high. The car has a natural wood body, a red
steering wheel column, a red metal bar on the back, and a red plastic
horn on the steering wheel. "Radio Flyer" is written on both sides of
the car. A child sits in the push car and moves the car with his or her
feet. The car is for use by children 1- to 3-years-old.
Toy stores, catalogues and web retailers sold these cars
nationwide from February 1999 through June 2002 for about $60.
Consumers should take the recalled cars away from young children
immediately and contact Radio Flyer Inc. to receive a replacement
steering wheel. For more information, consumers can call Radio Flyer
Inc. at (800) 621-7613 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through
Friday. Consumers also can contact Radio Flyer Inc. at
www.radioflyer.com
or by e-mail at 218Repair@RadioFlyer.c om.
Some of these push cars do not have horns. Only Wooden Push Cars
with horns are part of this recall. No other Radio Flyer products are
involved in this recall.
