Announce Recall of Icy Rider TM Toboggan WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Rubbermaid Inc., of Wooster Ohio, is recalling about 60,800 Icy Rider TM Toboggans. The flexible, bowed front of the toboggan can break away while in use, causing loss of control and injury. Rubbermaid is aware of six reports of the fronts of these toboggans breaking off, resulting in two injuries. These injuries were a broken leg suffered by an adult, and facial bruises and lacerations suffered by a 4-year-old girl when the broken piece hit her in the face. The Icy Rider TM Toboggan, Model #2108, is made of purple plastic, and has a yellow rope strung around the sides. The toboggan is made from two separate pieces which fit together, and are secured with three yellow bolts. It measures 1.5 feet wide and 5.5 feet long when assembled, and has a red, Rubbermaid logo molded into the bowed front. Toy and warehouse club stores nationwide, including Toys R Us, Sam's Club and BJ Warehouse Clubs, sold these toboggans beginning in September 1997 for about $50. Consumers should stop using these toboggans immediately. To make arrangements to get a replacement toboggan with a reinforced bowed front, contact Rubbermaid at (330) 264-6464, ext. 2500 between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
