LEGO Recalls Toy Trucks Due to Puncture Hazard to Young Children
The CPSC and LEGO Systems Inc., of Enfield, Conn. are recalling about 358,000 LEGO EXPLORE Super Trucks because 'the plastic wheels on the truck can detach, exposing a metal axle. This poses a puncture hazard to young children.'
According to the CPSC recall alert, 'LEGO EXPLORE Super Truck is a toy-in-toy product designed for children ages 18 months and up. The toy features a red plastic pick-up/dump truck that measures about 15-inches high and 19-inches wide with four 7-inch black plastic wheels that are packed with a box of 40 LEGO DUPLO bricks in the cargo area.
The unit has a row of DUPLO "studs" across the top of the cab, molded yellow headlights and stickers on the front and sides of the unit create the idea of a windshield, windows and doors depicting a LEGO figure in the driver's seat. The LEGO Explore logo is printed on the door stickers. The box of DUPLO bricks is not included in this recall.'
Consumers should stop using the toy trucks and can contact LEGO Systems for a refund.
