Infantino Recalls Toy Activity Trucks Due to Choking Hazard

Washington, DCThe U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada, in cooperation with Infantino LLC, have announced a voluntary recall of some 40,500 Troy the Activity Trucksin the United States and a further 1,900 in Canada because the plastic beads on the activity truck's bead runs can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.

Infantino has received 28 reports of the plastic beads detaching from the bead runs on the activity trucks, including two reports of young children gagging on the plastic beads.

This recall involves "Troy the Activity Truck," which is blue, red and yellow with plastic star, circle and heart beads attached to the bead runs on the back of the truck and has a face on the front. "Infantino" is printed on the front of the toy truck. Model number 153-210, 206-110 or 506-110C is printed underneath the truck. When its switch is turned on, the truck plays music and the back wheels spin.

The toys were sold at Babies R Us, Toys R Us, Meijer, TJ Maxx, Marshalls and other toy stores nationwide from September 2009 through February 2011 for about $15.
