What happened

DS-MAX U.S.A. Inc. (formerly Wholesale Warehousing Industries) recalled approximately 82,000 "My Alphabetic Truck" toys (style SHYE-AT-002) after the Consumer Product Safety Commission discovered during testing that small parts could break off during normal use, creating a choking hazard for young children. The 12-inch wooden trucks, which sold for about $5, were distributed nationwide door-to-door between August 1993 and June 1994. Each truck featured red wheels, one or two wooden peg men in the cab, and 30 wooden alphabet blocks mounted to the bed. No injuries have been reported.

According to the recall notice, affected consumers should take the toy away from children and discard or destroy the product. The company is no longer in business and cannot be contacted.
