Racer Cars & Puzzles Recalled by Small World Toys & Davis-Grabowski NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 15, 1986 Release # 86-063 CPSC Accepts Consent Agreements from Toy Importers Washington, DC -- The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced today that it has accepted consent agreements from two companies that import, and distribute nationally, toys and children's articles. The companies are Small World Toys, Culver City, California, and Davis-Grabowski, Inc., Miami, Florida. In signing these consent agreements both firms agree to have toys and children's products they import and distribute tested periodically for compliance with certain CPSC safety requirements. In addition both firms have agreed to stop distributing certain toys and to conduct limited recalls of the toys named below which violate safety requirements. Both consent agreements have been approved by the appropriate district courts. Both Small World toys and Davis-Grabowski, Inc., have agreed to conduct a limited recall from consumers of the plastic hat from the "driver" of a toy called Ambi Mini Racer car, Model E666. The hat is a small part which could present a choking hazard to children younger than three. Consumers are offered an incentive of a $1.00 premium to return the hat to the retail store where the Mini Racer was purchased. Small World has also agreed to recall from its retail customers toys known as Discovery World/Small World "Lift and Learn" puzzles, models 2501, 2503, 2504, 2505 and 2506, and Discovery World Small World "Scratch and Sniff" puzzles, models 2507, 2508, 2509, 2510 and 2512. Both kinds of puzzles have yellow knobs on the puzzle pieces which may detach and are small parts. These knobs could present a choking, aspiration or ingestion hazard to children younger than three. New versions of the puzzles which have red knobs are currently being sold by retailers and are not involved in the recall from retail customers. Both firms have agreed to stop selling a number of other toys found by the CPSC to violate the toy regulations. In signing the consent agreements both firms agree to have toys intended for children younger than 3 tested for compliance with the CPSC requirements which prohibit small parts in such toys. In addition, Davis-Grabowski agrees to test baby rattles for choking hazards. By signing these consent decrees neither Small World Toys nor Grabowski admits to violating the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. CPSC is not aware of any reports of injuries involving any of these toys.

February 11, 1980 Release # 80-003 Trolley-Ride Toys To Be Repaired WASHINGTON, D.C. (February 11) -- A program to repair approximately 35,000 "Fun Ride Trolley Ride" toys which may seriously injure children is being conducted by the toy's manufacturer, Davis-Grabowski, Inc., of Miami, Florida. The company is conducting the voluntary program in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The toy features four components: the trolley, which consists of two pulley-like grooved wheels encased within a plastic housing which supports two plastic handles; a 35-foot cable of either a single wire or seven intertwined strands of wire; and two clamps which serve to fasten the suspended cable around two tree trunks or posts. Once the cable is suspended, a child can propel himself along the cable by gripping the trolley's two handles. Although the toy is advertised as being capable of supporting an adult's weight, CPSC staff has been informed of nine incidents in which the cable broke under the weight of children and one incident in which it snapped under an adult's weight. These accidents reportedly resulted in concussions to a 9-year-old girl, and a 42-year-old woman, back injuries to a 10-year-old girl, and minor cuts and bruises to two other children. The trolley-ride toys were manufactured between January, 1976, and June, 1979. They have sold nationwide for approximately $15.00 in retail stores and are packaged in boxes labeled with the model number 30/1000. The manufacturer has agreed to mail consumers a free stranded cable to replace the single-wire cable, along with additional clamps to replace those sold with the toy. Anyone whose toy already includes the stranded cable will receive two additional clamps. The stranded cable and clamps can be obtained by writing to: Davis-Grabowski, Inc., P.O. Box 381594, 74 N.E. 74th Street, Miami, Florida, 33138. Consumers should include their names and addresses and specify the type of cable sold with their toy (whether single or stranded wire). Anyone requiring additional information about this program should contact CPSC's toll-free Hotline at 800-638-2772
