What happened

Durham Industries, Inc. has recalled approximately 4,300 Smurf Musical Crib Train toys (Model 5340/5342) due to a choking hazard. The toys, which were sold between 1982 and early 1984 through Toys-R-Us stores on the East Coast, Midwest, West Coast, and Florida for $13 to $15 each, can have small parts break off when dropped. These small parts may pose a choking, aspiration, or swallowing hazard. The toys are light blue plastic train engines with yellow wheels and a Smurf face on the front; they are designed to attach to crib rails and play music when wound up, though they can also be used as floor toys. The CPSC received one report of an infant choking on a small part from this toy, though the child was not injured and required no medical attention.

According to the record, affected consumers should remove the product from use immediately and return it to the retailer where it was purchased for a full refund. Consumers may also contact Durham Industries at 212-679-2282 or the CPSC toll-free hotline at 800-638-CPSC for further information.
