What happened

Artsana of America Inc. is recalling approximately 54,062 Decoy Duck Pull Toys due to a choking hazard. The 10-inch yellow and orange plastic ducks have four wheels and movable parts including feet, wings, eyes, and beak. During testing, the screw holding the wing in place separated, creating a small part and sharp point that could pose a fatal choking hazard to young children. The toys, which make a duck-like sound when pulled, were sold nationwide since 1987 for $10.99 each and are marked with "CHICCO" printed in blue above the right wing and labeled "No. 63002.0 Decoy Duck Made in ITALY" on the box.

Neither the Consumer Product Safety Commission nor the company is aware of any injuries from this product. According to the recall notice, consumers should take the toys away from young children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund of the purchase price. Consumers with additional questions may contact Artsana of America at 1-800-336-8697.
