What happened

Etna Products Company is recalling approximately 1,000 "Animal Shape Wagons" (model 9638) that were sold between June 1993 and December 1993 through retail toy stores and through the Fall 1993 Hanover House mail order catalog. The wooden wagon is 10-1/2 inches long and 5 inches high with animal-shaped cut-outs on the top and sides, and comes with 10 colored animal figures, two red cylindrical headlights, and a pull cord. During testing, the Consumer Product Safety Commission found that the headlights, tacks, and axles may separate from the wagon, creating a potential choking hazard for young children, and that the animal shapes painted yellow and green contain excess lead.

Consumers should immediately take the wagon away from young children and return it to Hanover House or the original place of purchase for a full refund and reimbursement of shipping and handling costs. Consumers with questions may contact Etna at (800) 841-1007. No injuries have been reported in connection with these wagons.
