Steering wheels on Model 8 Roadsters
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Radio Flyer Inc. is recalling Model 8 Roadsters, which are red steel riding toys approximately 26 inches long with a black steering wheel and red rubber horn. The recalled Roadsters were manufactured on or before December 2001 and have a "horn symbol" embossed on the red rubber horn. A child can pull the horn from the steering wheel, and a small part inside the horn poses a choking hazard to young children. Roadsters manufactured after January 2002 and those with a star embossed on the horn are not part of this recall.
Consumers should immediately remove these Roadsters from young children and contact Redwagons to order a replacement steering wheel. The date of manufacture can be found on a label on the bottom of the toy, which shows "MD" followed by a date code representing the month and year of manufacture.
