No one hurt Made Aug 17, 2011, published by CPSC Sep 9, 2011
The product, in the report: John Deere toy power trimmer. Green “engine”, yellow staff, green and clear circular trimmer head, gray handles. The toy has a gray handle with a pull cord that “charges” the trimmer. This toy does not require batteries. There is a sticker with the John Deere deer logo on the engine portion of the toy.
My 3 year old son received the John Deere toy Power Trimmer for his birthday in late June 2011. He plays with it everyday. About a month ago (July 2011), we noticed one of the interior screws had come loose and and was rolling around the interior of the toy. Shortly thereafter, the clear circular part of the toy started to become loose from the rest of the toy. This allowed the small pieces of fake grass (small green hollow cylinders) to fall out of the toy or fall into the gears. Then the gears themselves started to come apart. Pieces of the gears, the grass, and the small screws started rolling around the clear circular part of the toy and they started to fall completely out of the toy.
I attempted to repair the power trimmer (“weed wacker” to my son) this evening by removing the screws in the lower part of the toy and reassembling the gears. The toy cannot be reassembled in a way that prevents the parts from falling out or rolling into the inside.
This toy is rated for children 18 months and older, but I do not believe it is safe for this age group because it falls apart. I believe the small screws, fake grass, and gear parts that are now falling out of my son’s toy pose a choking hazard to my 3 year old.
