My Little Train Classics Toy Trains My Little Train Classics wooden toy trains are available in two styles. One, with a yellow cab, blue body and six red wheels and the other with a blue cab, red boiler, wooden base and four black wheels. The item #5293 is the same for both styles and is located in the lower left hand corner on the front of the package. Ja-ru, Inc. of Jacksonville, FL recalled the trains because they have samll parts that can come off which children can get choked on.
CORAL Swim ‘N Score Pool Stix The recalled Pool Stix are weighted plastic tubes, which stand upright when tossed into water. The sticks are about 8″ long and were sold in packs of 6 in various colors. The UPC (#4969382814) is printed on the product’s packaging. These dive sticks also pose an impalement risk since they also will stand up. What really gets me is these type of sticks were BANNED in April of 2001 yet are still being sold in America.
Children’s Two-Way Radios by Cobra Electronics The recall involves two-way radios with the 300 mah “CEL” batteries. The walkie talkie style radios are made of pink plastic and come in purple packaging. Product number PR191-2VP is located on the front of the packaging and on the label inside the battery compartment. The batteries are standard AAA Nickle Metal Hydride battery cells with a black wrapper with the battery name 300 mah (CEL) with the date code (TF or RF) on the battery itself. The batteries were recalled due to leakage of chemicals that can possibly burn you.
Best Friends Yin Yang Necklaces Sets This recall involves a set of two necklaces that have a silver-colored metal bead type chain and a lobster-claw clasp. One of the necklaces has a single, metal pendant with the word “Best” attached to a black, yin metal pendant. The other necklace has the word “Friends” attached to a white, yang metal pendant. Claire’s Boutiques Inc. recalled the necklaces due to high levels of lead which can lead to lead poisoning.
