Marlon Creations, Inc. is recalling approximately 430 wooden toy fire trucks (Model 5044) imported from West Germany and sold nationwide between May 1986 and July 1986 for about $6.00 each. The toy is a 5 1/2-inch long red wooden truck with a blue knob on the cab, an unpainted ladder, and six red wheels, packaged in a clear plastic bag with a cardboard header. The recall was issued because the detachable firemen figures—which are two inches tall and painted blue—are small parts that present a choking hazard and do not meet CPSC safety requirements for toys intended for children under 3 years old.
Although no injuries have been reported, consumers should immediately remove these toys from children's access. According to the recall notice, affected consumers may return the toy for a full refund either to the retail store where it was purchased or directly to Marlon Creations, Inc. at 35-01 36th Avenue, Long Island City, New York 11106. Additional information is available by calling Marlon at 718-361-2088 or CPSC's toll-free hotline at 800-638-CPSC.
