RECALL: Playskool Recalls Tool Benches After Two Toddlers Die
Playskool is voluntarily recalling about 255,000 Team Talkin� Tool Bench toys following the deaths of two young children.
Though the toy nails are not considered a small part, and the toys are intended for children age 3 and older, Playskool is voluntarily conducting a recall as a precaution to prevent additional incidents.
The Team Talkin� Tool Bench is a 20-inch tall plastic toy tool bench with an animated red toy saw, a yellow toy drill and a blue toy vice. The toy talks and makes various sound effects, including tool sounds.
The product also includes a toy hammer, screwdriver, two 2�-inch plastic screws, two 3-inch plastic nails and pieces to build a small toy plane. The red Playskool logo is on the front of the brown surface of the tool bench.
The toy was sold at Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Target, KB Toys stores and various other stores nationwide from October 2005 through September 2006 for about $35.
Consumers should immediately take the two toy nails away from children and contact Playskool to get information on returning the nails for a $50 certificate for a Playskool (or its related companies�) product.
For additional information, call Playskool at (800) 509-9554 anytime, or go to their Web site at www.playskool.com.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
