Hazard

The recalled workshop and tool sets have oversized, plastic toy nails that can pose a choking hazard to young children.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately take the toy nails away from young children and contact the firm for free replacement toy nails.

Incidents & injuries

The firm has reported two additional incidents, occurring prior to the August 2009 recall, of children who choked when the toy nail became lodged in their throat. Both children were treated in a hospital and made a full recovery.

Product description
