Playskool Voluntarily Recalls Toy Tool Benches after the Death of Two Toddlers
Description
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 2¼-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.
Injuries / Consequence
Playskool received reports that a 19-month-old boy from Martinsburg, W.V., and a 2-year-old boy from League City, Texas, suffocated when oversized plastic toy nails sold with the tool bench toys became forcefully lodged in their throats.
Remedy
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.
