Which ones are recalled?
The toy is called the Wooden Pull-Along Bead Coaster, which is written on the packaging. It is a flat, wooden platform with wooden wheels, and is about 10 inches long. On top of the platform are twisting, red and blue plastic wires threaded with multi-colored beads. The red pull string that attaches to the platform has a bead at the end. “BEAD COASTER” is printed on top of the wood platform of the toy in multicolor block letters. The pull toy was part of a toy box set from the “Childhood Classics Wooden Chest & Toy Collection.” The other toys in the set included wood puzzles, a pounding bench and a block set.
About 4,900 units, as CPSC gives them.
