What was recalled

The Little Wooden Push Car is about 24 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 18 inches high. The car has a natural wood body, a red steering wheel column, a red metal bar on the back, and a red plastic horn on the steering wheel. "Radio Flyer" is written on both sides of the car. A child sits in the push car and moves the car with his or her feet. The car is for use by children 1 to 3 years old. Some of these push cars do not have horns. Only Wooden Push Cars with horns are part of this recall. No other Radio Flyer products are involved in this recall.

Hazard

A child can pull the horn off the car's steering wheel, and a small part inside poses a choking hazard.

Injuries

Radio Flyer Inc. has received three reports of the horns being pulled off, but no injuries have been reported.

Where it was sold

  • Toy stores, catalogues and web retailers sold these cars nationwide, from February 1999 through June 2002, for about $60.
