Little Tikes Workshop Sets, Trucks Recalled

Toy Nails Pose Choking Hazard

POSTED: 5:58 am PDT August 13, 2009

Little Tikes is recalling about 1.6 million Workshops Sets and Trucks because they have oversized plastic toy nails that can pose a choking hazard to young children.

The company has received one report of an 11-month-old boy from Goose Creek, S.C., who choked when the toy nail become lodged in his throat. The child was hospitalized and made a full recovery.

The oversized plastic toy nail is about 3 1/4 inches long by 1 1/4 inch in diameter and comes in red or blue colors. It has a large round head; about 1 1/4 inches below the head is a plastic ridge, slightly smaller than the nail head and about 1 inch in diameter. They were sold with a variety of Little Tikes children's products (listed below).

The toys were sold on various Web sites, including littletikes.com, and retailers nationwide, including Toys "R" Us, from March 1994 through June 2009 for between $25 and $100.

Consumers should immediately take the toy nails away from young children and contact the firm for a free replacement toy nail.
